The Presumed Innocent actor has been wearing intensive corrective glasses since he was a child
He continued: "When I can't see in the morning, before I put on my glasses, it's a place where I can be with myself."
His vision is 20/1250, meaning that what someone with 20/20 vision can see at 1250 feet, he can't see it past 20 feet.Jake uses both glasses and contact lenses, interchangeably. THR described his glasses as being as thick as a "coke bottle" glass, and that looking through them as someone with normal vision feels like being on a sort of "hallucinogenic.
They also state that "12 million adults 40 years and older in the United States are living with uncorrectable vision loss," and those who do qualify as legally blind are often eligible for certain benefits pertaining to vocational training, rehabilitation, Social Security disability benefits, IRS tax exemption, housing, utilities, and telephone services, among others.
