I'm as good as blind without them - I can't even read a book. My field of vision is about 3 inches, and that's only if I have one eye closed.
Some of us don't even have that much. I have astigmatism in both eyes -- I can't see anything clearly, regardless of how near or far it is. I have hyperopia and presbyopia, so my distance vision would be fine and I would only need glasses for the computer, reading, sewing, and other close work. But I can't see a damn thing at any distance -- it's all blurry. I'd be completely helpless without my glasses.
