No, you don't get perfect vision - you get /improved/ vision.

Well, okay. I don't want to start another discussion about semantics. When
I need to be able to see at least as well as those who have what opticians
consider optimal functioning for the human eye, I can achieve that. Also, I
have the option of seeing things super close if I should so desire. If I
don't use correction I can focus on the pores and hairs on my nose. Not
many people can do that.

if I use the
right choice out of glasses, contact lenses, or holding something
really really close to my face :-)

All that can do is partially correct yer eyes' optical defects.

There's an argument to be made for me having an optical enhancement. I am
the human microscope - rarrrggghh!

FWIW, some days my eyes don't like focussing (almost as if they're
still asleep, sort of thing). Until my eyes get with it and start to
change focus for me, I suffer a blurry world at whatever distance my
eyes have decided to be not focussed on.

I get strange things like that when I have a migraine. I also get this
weird effect where whatever it is I'm looing directly at disappears, and
it's only at times like that when I think about how crappy human vision is
anywhere other than the fovea.

Maybe not, but it's still annoying that we haven't yet found a way of
correcting a common visual problem like colour-blindness.

My dad didn't find it annoying - and he did seem to find it annoying
when he started to need specs for close work.

Annoying for people as a whole - it's obviously difficult to miss something
you never had, though there are problems with the world being set up for
people who can see all the colours people can normally see.

Still, my vision is easily corrected; a colour-blind person's is not.

If it were me, I'd have thrown away i before e by now.

Sod spelling reform.
