I had come to the realization that I have been depending much too much on my glasses. I have attempted and succeeded in going one entire day without using my glasses. I'm not sure if that's a good thing; I might get hit by a car whose headlights are not turned on (in the dark, early morning). Plus, it isn't healthy for eyes with poor vision to stress itself beyond its means to focus.
Personally, I sense my surroundings by depending more on hearing and by vaguely seeing relative shapes, motion, and people's demeanor. I use the example of seeing people in a hallway at school or in the office. While its difficult to see the person's facial expressions, it's relatively trivial to "see" who that person is. Clarity, however, is always welcomed.
