That's an interesting point. I find that when I am in total darkness and hear
something, I put on my glasses even though I know it won't help me see in the
dark. I wonder if this is true of all vision impaird people, or if you and I
are just weird? I have about 20/400 or worse, but it is correctable with
glasses. Anybody else out there do this? Does it seem to help hear better?
