...I'm not sure how I'd react. On one level, my eyes are so bad that I no longer trust them. I try not to meet people's eyes unless I'm very comfortable with them, and they with the fact that my eyes don't focus. So on one level, I can totally disallow anything physical by merely removing my glasses -- my vision is gone, leaving me to only make judgements by sounds and blurry shapes. On the other level, I've learned not to meet people's eyes for long periods of time, because it's disorienting for other people to see my eyes wandering separately.

lkdjfls. I express myself badly. But what I mean, I guess, is that I can understand the gut panic, but I've never been in a situation where I couldn't effectively remove such a gut thing from my sight, and just focus on people as people.

Now that I'm getting contacts...I guess I won't have that option any more.
