For me, it was instructive how long it took anyone to notice that I was *severely* nearsighted. As most know, 20/20 is considered normal vision. -1 diopters = 20/40; -6 diopters = 20/500. My eyes are -8.50 & 9.50 diopters. Nobody noticed until I was in the 3rd grade.https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1169484481369010181 …

My mother used to meet guys by claiming she didn't have her contacts in and asking them to read e.g. menus above food counters for her.

I didn't know I was nearsighted until 9th grade. I remember in 7th asking the teacher to focus the overhead more. Everyone said "it is focused" but somehow I never considered that my eyes were broken.

I put on my mom's glasses when I was 12 and was astounded that I could see the leaves on trees. Unlike you I hadn't given a shit about doing well in elementary or middle school.

I had to really convince my Mom I couldn’t see and even then she didn’t take me to the optometrist for days at first because she ‘didn’t like my tone’

Seems difficult to replicate. If I could just become a child at any given time I suspect I'd be heavily inclined to find ways to exploit that ability to shoplift and not get caught or something similar.
