I've worn glasses since I was 3yrs old (still got my first pair).
Had an operation when I was 15 to correct my right eye (by doing something to the muscle behind the eye) but it had the opposite effect and has made my sight in my right eye worse. After the operation I always saw double vision everytime and couldnt see past a meter or read any text.
I learned to focus my vision through my left eye and can consiously switch vision between left and right eyes (my optomatrist says its a rare thing for someone to be able to do but is known about) instead of seeing through both eyes at the same time. My sight has got better in my right eye since the operation but I had to start over again with strong lenses. If I focus hard enough with my right eye I can make things out but still have a problem with text.
I recently had my eyes checked and was told I had a 20% loss of vision in my left eye and a 60% loss in my right eye.
Because of this I ended up paying a little over £300 for my new pair of glasses which are the memoflex type with anti glare, and have spectra-chromic tinting to the lenses and they help with the other problems that were happening due to my eyesight (very bad headaches, dizzyness etc).
Vision is ok wearing them but I hate wearing glasses. I cant have contact lenses anymore cos my last pair (white coloured) damaged the outside of my eyes thus making it very sore to wear them and I now also have to wear goggles when I swim ( great thing seeing as one of my jobs is a Lifeguard)

@Staz081277 Being able to focus with one eye or the other is not that rare. All fighter pilots have to be able to do that, one eye is kept on the instruments and the other on the monical viewfinder. It does take alot of practice to get the muscles to work like that.
With regards to the loss of your vision in your eye (60 percent) thats pretty high, I would suggest if you are really interested in wearing lenses for your work then Moorefields Eye Hospital might be able to help you out. They pionered this technic over the years (and you can ask your optician about it) They will stitch a contact lense over your own lense allowing you pretty good vision and not having to worry about the pain. I would see a speacialist about it, as most opticians hate the thought of loosing bussiness to sugery and laser.
Goodluck |

I've got 20/20 vision, and a neat little fact from my old technology teacher, the human brain has a capacity of about 3-4 TB (Terabytes).
