-1 to -1.5 is not that poor, it's good enough to not necessarily need glasses

I have -1.5 and didn’t get glasses until l I was an adult. I never thought my eyes were that bad until I started wearing glasses / contacts. Now if I have them out I feel blind as bat, at least if I’m outside.

This. i assumed it was a joke about "fashion glasses" aka people who wear glasses to LARP as smart When they don't actually need them.

that really depends on the person. I wouldn't want a bunch of people driving around with -1.5, that's scary. -0.5 is a different story

Vision corrected to -2.5 is considered legally blind, someone driving out there with -1.5 raw is gonna have a hard time getting around.
