No, I was born half blind as a bat, and nobody would let me get close enough to see anything up close.

My vision is about 20/500 without glasses, meaning that if I should be able to see it from 500 feet, I have to be 20 feet away to see it. Very very blurry without glasses.

I finally got glasses at age 8, and finally saw a clock at age 9. I had to teach myself how to read it though, but that was kinda easy once I could actually see the damn thing! 🕘
