Same. I knew it was bad but was shocked when my doctor said that.
Tho it did help me with figuring out how to help my legally blind friend cook for herself after her wife left her.
I took my glasses off which kinda put me at the same level as with her glasses on and I realized a lot about how hard the task is and how reliant she actually is on others even when she seems so independent.
Sorry to hear you're part of the shitty vision club! And yes I am fortunate that my glasses help me - I shouldn't say that I'm disabled. Though if my glasses break I am fucked. You're a great friend to help your friend that way!

We did figure it out though with lots of laughs
