Man, I'm almost as bad as you. My eyes are at about -6.75, I believe, and without my glasses or contacts in, I can't even see a half of a foot in front of my face. My mum can have her glasses off for almost everything but driving, and I get insanely jealous every time she's like "whoop, forgot them! Oh well! :D"

And pfffft. Those people need to be smacked upside the head. :| If I could see at all without my glasses or contacts, I'd be quite happily not wearing them, instead of being blind as a bat without them.
