By Dr. Donovan Graham. If you do not suffer from visual myopia, have you ever watched a nearsighted person try to get around without his eyeglasses? Not being able to see clearly, he becomes very uncertain in terms of action. I am so nearsighted that my wife kids me about not being able to find the bathroom in the middle of the night without putting on my glasses. No one in his right mind would dare ride as a passenger in a car with me unless I were wearing my glasses, and I would probably not trust myself to eat without them for fear of what I might put in my mouth. A nearsighted person cannot act or move very well without the benefit of his eye
