Yep, I always thought the cartoon renditions of a green blob on top of a brown stick were more realistic than they are.

Legit was mindblown when my friend got glasses and was so fascinated that trees had leaves! Happy to know that appreciating this beautiful detail of nature is a bit of a universal experience

This was one of the first things I remember noticing too! It’s interesting to hear that so many people also noticed tree leaves first.

I was shocked to learn how far away people can read and recognize my face. Much was explained that day.

“Wait. I can see where they’re looking at from this far away. That means… Oh man.”

Yeah, I was so blind I didn’t know what my parents faces looked like. I got glasses around 12ish. My mother still enjoys the story that when I first got them put on I exclaimed “wow mom, you’re so pretty!”

Is the leaves thing common for people who get glasses for the first time? That was the most intense sight for me at 25 years old, was seeing the individual leaves on a tree like 50 feet away

Yes. Going from thinking “yeah, that’s a tree ofc” to talking like a paid shill to everyone I know “I CAN SEE EACH LEAF!!! ITS LIKE I’M SEEING IN HD”

For me it wasnt be cause I had heard that so many times from others before I started regularly wearing them. I think for me it was seeing how bad a bunch of my old games actually look. I can still take em off and make em look good again

The weirdest thing that happened to me when I got my glasses was that it felt like I was going to hit them with the food I was eating, I was 15 at the time

I’m not sure if this is a quirk of perspective or an admission that you shove your face too far in your food but it’s funny either way.
