    It looks like with a cataract, the entire image is significantly blurred, whereas with myopia, the blur gets worse the farther away the element of the image is from you.

    Which would make sense, given that the derived definition of myopic is basically being focused on or concerned with only things that directly affect you and not the more grand scheme of things.

      Thanks, Maybe I see football and blue/white shirt bit more in focus (only because you mentioned it, I stared long enough lol)

        Im on mobile and i had to zoom the image in a bit to look at it.

        Its not so obvious at a casual glance.

        alternatively:

        Maybe you should get your eyes checked =P

          Yup on mobile as well and yup saw those differences after zooming in / staring. Always a good idea to be on top of medical checkup though, I’ll get eye exam just in case.

            Hah, I mean, I meant that last part as a joke, but if you’ve not had an eye exam ever, or in 5 or 10 years, I guess its not a bad idea.
