I don't, but every so often my eyes go really weird and everything goes blurry, which i have come to the conclusion that every time i have a new monitor my eyes need time to "adjust"

My visions 20/400 or something, no kidding! I can't see squat without my glasses. With, I'm about 20/30, and with my contacts(that I never wear) I'm 20/10.

Good news, my eyes didn't change over a 4 year period. At least they're not getting worse!

im short sighted, so cant see crap anything more than 15 feet away. But it does mean im pretty damn good at reading the tiny numbers and letters next to pins on motherboards when i have my head shoved ina case, lol.

i dont really wear glasses now because i ahd £130 FCUK ones but broke the arm off, replaced them with £150 STORM ones, lost them after 1 week, now i only have a crappy NO BRAND pair and i dont like to be seen with them, lol. Oh countlyess busses i have missed through not being able to read the damn numbers on the front.

I dont know what the wierd number thing is for my eyes, i know 20/20 is perfect vision so i must be like (3.149 / 2x13.1) lol
