I see...I'll take that as a yes.I think good eyesight it not only key to riding but something beyond that. Not just seeing what is in front of you but truly understanding what is out there.
I've been blind in one eye since I was three and a half, and I need a -10 scrip for the one that works. I'll never be a pro but I'll also never blame my vision for it.I think good eyesight it not only key to riding but something beyond that.

I have very bad depth perception in the low light of dawn & dusk. I need at least 80 watts to feel comfortable trail riding at night.Depth perception is for pansies. :biggrin:
You'll love the change all the more when you hit 40.Perfect vision.
Another reason to hate me.
Quit trying to bring me down.lthumbsdown:You'll love the change all the more when you hit 40.
Funny, I have problems at low light too, but I found it pretty easy to adapt to riding in the dark. From the time my buddies and I first started riding in the woods in the dark many years ago and continuing today, someone will occasionally complain about reduced depth perception. I just tell them "Hey, welcome to my world, now suck it up."I have very bad depth perception in the low light of dawn & dusk. I need at least 80 watts to feel comfortable trail riding at night.

12345. skiing with glasses + goggles just doesn't work.Contacts for skiing. Glasses most of the rest of the time...
20-5 bitc*es. EAGLE!!!!!!*20-10 vision suckers.
you are worthless and weak.The reason I ask is that on the last few times I've gone riding (before the snow...), it's been getting really dark, really early. By the end of the day, I can harly see what the hell is going on and I find myself wishing I had better vision. The guys I ride with don't seem to mind at all. None of them wear glasses.
I often wear glasses in front of a computer, or I squint, like I am right now. Just over a year ago I got my eyes checked and was surprised with how much more sharply I could see with corrective lenses. I got glasses after that. It seems my eyes have just gotten worse ever since, or I've just become more used to "good" vision with glasses, so when I take 'em off, I'm in a world of blur.
The glasses I bought were a pretty dumb choice for anything but sitting in front of a computer. I guess I'll have to invest in something more practical for sports. Crap.
just like OG I'm also pretty much blind out of my right eye and no corrective lens can bring back my vision out of that eye.
I also can't see very well when all of a sudden I enter a very dark section of trail - wearing tinted lenses makes it worst, reason why I always wear clear lenses on my sunglasses/goggles.
I do have prescription glasses and had them since high school, but never wore them.
Now you know one of the reason why I crash so much
My eyesight didn;t change at forty, just that my arms got too short to hold the paper that far outYou'll love the change all the more when you hit 40.
Yeah, clearly it's better to have vision problems earlier in life to make that transition to glasses easier.You'll love the change all the more when you hit 40.
