When I first started to notice that my vision was getting a bit fuzzy, 
I went to se my first eye doctor. He was perplexed about how bad my 
vision appeared to be vs what I was actually able to read on his 
charts. He mentioned that my eyes seemed inordinately strong, therefore 
I was able to compensate for my problem far better than most. It turns 
out that he estimates most people would have come to see him a year or 
two earlier. I explained my love of 3D, and he immediately understood 
the difference. This might sound like a good thing, but it isn't... 

It turns out I have a degenerative disease called Karataconus (or 
something like that) that could have been much more easily treated if 
found earlier. So, I was able to see longer without help, but ended up 
doing more damage  because of it... I guess if I hadn't been a 
free-viewing nut all these years, I would have better eyes now... Sigh!
