One problem with being very nearsighted.

[dennilfloss]

I had gotten used to being able to see the pores on the tip of my nose but a few days ago I noticed my eyebrows above my glasses and now this is bugging me as I can't stop noticing them. Guess it will take some time for the novelty to wear off. :frown:

It will get better as you age and you lose the ability to focus at near objects despite being myopic. Then you'll need glasses to focus on anything.

I already have bifocals.

How old are you and what is your prescription, like -10? I'm -5 and 27 years old and I still can't focus on my eyebrows.

So you can see well far away. You should still be wearing reading glasses for near vision. Either that, or you're not really a human (or even a primate ).

I'm 51yo and my prescription is -11.75 for one eye and -10.75 for the other. I don't focus on the eyebrows perfectly, far from it, but I see enough to notice if one is bent unlike the other, like way downwards.

I already use scissors to keep them proper but I'm no fan of the bare look.
