I've been shortsighted my all life. I began wearing glasses when I was 6 years old, and I got rid of them only two years ago with laser surgery.

About 30 % of the neurons in our cortex are dedicated to processing visual information. That's a lot compared to the 8 % devoted to the sense of touch or the tiny 3 % focused on hearing.
