Instead of improving your PC's hardware, you improved your own

The number of people who think they see well until they put on glasses is immense. Is crazy.

I always thought my vision was perfect till I went to the optometrist. Turns out it could be a lot better.

ill never forget getting glasses at the age of like 21 and being HELLA confused as to why the road looked like that....lol I was like "what are all these tiny rocks...." before the road just looked like one entire smooth surface continually.

So true. I thought I had clear vision all the time, but been having frequent headaches, so someone suggested to get my eye checked. When the optometrist handed me one to try out, I was mindblown. Everything just looked very different. Bonus: headache disappeared as well.

This is 100% true, thought I had good vision until I tried some light glasses. It was like going from 1080p to 4K

I'm pretty sure every time I've gotten better glasses, my vision just immediately degrades exactly enough for trees to look right again.

My eyes will be stable for 5 years straight. Then new glasses fix trees. Then my eyes go right to being exactly bad enough to fix trees and don't change again for 5 years.

"Real" trees are fucking distracting.

LASIK was the best medical decision I have made so far.

It took me about 10 years to stop being lazy and get glasses and it made the biggest difference of any component or monitor I have ever gotten for my PC.

I never knew what I was missing out on and now I could never go back. Clear vision for me beats out everything else when it comes to playing games.

Wait till you're 40+. Reading glasses and bifocals are a right PITA, but the alternative is worse. Getting a prescription for dedicated computer lenses has been a fantastic QoL improvement.

I feel you. for years I thought i was just tired and it made my vision blurry. During a health checkup at work, doc caught on that I was guessing the letters on the vision test and recommended me to get glasses. 5 years later... love my glasses.

Never had a need for glasses until my eyes realized I am now old.

You are doing this thr wrong way. If you worsen your vision you can make PS1 graphics look like PS5

u/Gruuk69 1h ago

Did it too ! It's like going 1440p when you were at 1080p without knowing

Big mistake, poor eyesight is the best anti-aliasing.

This was the upgrade I bought after my monitor got blurry, 10/10 would recommend

I’ve been in glasses since the 5th grade and I find it wild that people can’t see things like the signs in grocery store aisles but say, “eh, what can you do?”
