They're lovely paintings, but they don't represent what I see with my appalling eyesight. Just take a camera and adjust the focus until everything is very blurry - as in faces at the other side of the room are just flesh coloured blobs. No pretty circles, just blur. :-)

I always tell the people, the way I see is almost similar to opening your eyes while swimming under water.

Not wearing glasses is a lot blurrier (not the pretty circles) but just because it's blurry DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T SEE HOW MANY FINGERS YOU'RE HOLDING UP.

I love how these capture how the light looks without glasses on (-9 here with astigmatism and a weak eye as well). The way that it makes the lights look is really the only redeeming feature - a world without tree leaves, faces and stars is very sad indeed (that was my world until the age of 7).

I quite enjoyed these. I'm near-sighted and I actually do see perfect circles wherever there is a light when I take my glasses off.

fairly accurate. my eyesight must be worse than what the artist was trying to depict lol.

I wish I saw that beautiful bokeh when I look at the world without glasses, but it's all just fuzziness and confusion.

I would live one where it's a portrait of someone's face, but the only thing you see is their eyes. It would be beautiful.

I took off my glasses to look at this, and almost didn't notice that the last picture wasn't one of the paintings!

I’ve worn glasses since I was 3yrs old, I’m now 58. My vision without glasses looks nothing like these paintings. Nice paintings but just nothing like the real thing for me.

All ya'll seeing circles/halos might want to get checked for cataracts.

Spot on for me and my astigmatism!

That's pretty similar to how used to see until I started wearing contact lenses.

While these are very accurate as for the lights, the people and other items do not appear as dots or dot smears. They are basically just blurry. The picture of the beach has this problem. I don't think the light from the water would actually appear as dots. It never did for me. The only time it's useful to be myopic is when looking at colored lights on a Christmas tree.

I keep thinking that there is something in my eyes because it's so blurry, so I keep rubbing them. They hurt now

These are quite interesting and brought to mind some of the blurred-image paintings that Gerhard Richter did in the 1980’s and 90’s, mostly with portraiture as I recall. Richter‘s work conveyed movement while your compositions do the opposite. Thank you for posting this.

This to me is a more accurate example of my vision without contacts/glasses https://www.google.com/search?q=pictures+of+bad+vision&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&prmd=isnv&sxsrf=ACYBGNQE7xHT25w4vsmeePaJMtuc-9KuZA:1569096960179&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj2tLfX3eLkAhUBY6wKHdXBBdwQ_AUoAXoECA0QAQ&biw=360&bih=612&dpr=3#imgrc=PkKP2pWlWVx8YM&imgdii=Z1VuELVvIlGfeM
