Hiroyuki's Uncorrected Vision is Approximately 0.1 - Discovering His 'Everyday View' Through Measurement
Hiroyuki Nishimura, a prominent figure in Japanese internet culture, visited Nikon-Essilor Co., Ltd. to experience an eye examination and custom glasses fitting. His uncorrected vision was found to be approximately 0.1, and a recreation of his daily visual experience suggests how his unique perspective might influence his communication style.

Hiroyuki Nishimura, who has significantly influenced Japanese internet culture and discourse, recently visited Nikon-Essilor Co., Ltd. to experience an eye examination and custom glasses fitting.
Hiroyuki is known for his diverse perspectives and ability to articulate the essence of things in his unique way. So, from what kind of 'vision' does his 'perspective' originate?
This time, over approximately one hour, we gradually unraveled the world Hiroyuki sees while measuring his vision.
■ Eye Examination Results
The eye examination results showed that both eyes required myopia and astigmatism correction to see distant objects clearly.
・Right eye: S-2.50 / C-1.25 /AX170
・Left eye: S-3.00 / C-1.50 /AX25
* S (Sphere) indicates the degree of myopia/hyperopia, C (Cylinder) indicates the strength of astigmatism, and AX (Axis) indicates the axis of astigmatism.
Converting these values to general distant vision, his uncorrected vision is said to be approximately 0.1. The focal distance is around 26-32 cm, meaning he can see relatively clearly when looking at smartphones or PC screens.
However, at distances further than that, objects gradually become blurry, making it difficult to discern details of people's faces several meters away, which he perceives by outline and atmosphere. Furthermore, due to astigmatism, letters and lines are slightly blurred, giving a sensation that the world is slightly overlapping.
Generally, people with this level of vision often use glasses or contact lenses daily. However, Hiroyuki spends most of his life without corrective lenses, except when driving or watching movies.
"I can see clearly up close, but my vision becomes ambiguous when things are a little further away." This is Hiroyuki's everyday visual experience.
■ Recreating Hiroyuki's Vision
Based on the measurement results, we recreated Hiroyuki's everyday vision.
* This image is a recreation based on the eye examination results.
Unlike the clear world we are accustomed to, the outlines are blurred, and information cannot be clearly grasped by vision alone. While objects at arm's length, like around a desk, appear relatively clear, details gradually become ambiguous for people's faces or landscapes a little further away.
Especially for human faces, it becomes difficult to distinguish subtle expressions or differences in features from several meters away, making it challenging to identify individuals solely based on facial information. Therefore, it is thought that he recognizes people using multiple cues such as outlines, overall balance, movements, and voices.
This way of seeing may be one reason for Hiroyuki's characteristic dialogue style, which focuses on the content of words and the points of discussion themselves.
This time, glasses were created for Hiroyuki using Nikon Z series SINGLE VISION, tailored to his eye condition.
Please pay attention to his eyes, along with the charm of his discourse.
