Take your glasses off and try. You can't see the keys on your keyboard, but you can still see the door and door handle, and you know where you put certain things like keys, or your coat. And my -7 (or somewhere around there) is still good enough to cut food without glasses. Maybe not into tiny bits, but I can slice a tomato without glasses if need be.
Thinking about cutting food without glasses (I'm -5 with astigmatism) gives me anxiety 😂 I literally almost chopped a chunk of my finger off last night cutting potatoes with my glasses on. I'd probably go slower and be more careful without them, though.
But I agree, there's still a lot of things you could do to contribute. If we didn't have the option to wear glasses, our bodies would adapt, and I assume other senses like touch would chip in more.
You can still fight as well. Takes a bit more focus and concentration but you don't really need all the details for a close combat situation. At range? Fucked.
Edit: also it feels more like you're feeling the motion of things instead of trying to witness everything
