You guys are lucky, at least you had perfect vision for that many years. When I was in third grade, I went to the optometrist because I couldnt see the blackboard at school, and found out that my vision was so terrible that without glasses, I am legally blind. They have gotten worse over time, but are luckily still correctable. I went to my military entrance physical the other day, and they said that my left eye was only correctable to 20/25, and unless I can find a civilian doctor who certifies that it is correctable to 20/20, I wont be joining the Marine Corps. I also failed the depth perception test. But at least if I can have my vision totally corrected to 20/20, then after Officer Candidate School, the Corps will pay for Lasik. But hey, count your blessings of not having to fumble with contacts everyday, and not waking up blind every morning.
