♥ 29 oil paintings illustrating how people with bad eyesight see the world when they take off their glasses. As someone with very poor eye sight, I can say the artist has nailed it. Some of these are pretty spot on to how I see the world without my glasses on. Thankfully, my vision is better than some of the blurriest ones, though!
