Salamo 3alykom Eman,

How are you,regarding to your question
It depends on the current status of your eyes

This is probably the most intractible question in philosophy: how can we ever know that the experience of others is the same as our experience?

In the end, perhaps the answer is "we can't". So maybe all we can do is fall back on the vocabulary we each use to describe our experience. If we use the same words to describe what we see, perhaps it is safe to conclude that we see the same thing.

Sadly, this also fails; the way we describe what we experience is largely determined by social or cultural influences. In ancient Greece they had no word for "blue", so what colour did they see the sky?

This is an important question, and it will be interesting to see what others make of it!

Oh, and in answer to the question with which you began, "What do I see without my glasses?" Not very much!

Lol Andrew.. nice response.
I'll try and describe what I see, although it is hard.
I can make out what things are but they aren't clear (there is no definition to anything). The light is all over the place too .. so if I were trying to read this screen i'd be able to, but the letters of each word would be doubled out at a funny angle with light going through them.
I guess you could also say it is like looking through dirty glass or underwater.
That's about the best description I can give of "what I see".. Maybe others have some better explanations!

i see blurry colours, thats about it really

i think this is good for trying to explain how our vision can be / is.

That's a good link. I've seen it before, but quite a while ago.
In the 1st folder of pictures (double vision), the parking only one is exactly what I see.
Some of the eye chart ones are good too, but too well defined. They should be more grey than black and a bit blurry.

I usually tell people to find a clear glass beer bottle, and sight down the neck like a spy-glass and look out the bottom......that's as close as anything around to what I see, lots of images, lots of doubling, lots of smearing between images.

i don't know do you see what i see? but any glare of light looks like fingerprint and it is pulsing like heart beat.it may be strange expressions but that exactly what i see.

Yes i see that with lights. It is all the cells on your eye!

Without lenses i don't see very much. Everything is all blurry though i can just about make out objects just there are no definate lines as to where they begin and end!!

This is where a post was before on mentioning steps and how difficult we find it trying to find the edges!

I need the whole place to be BRIGHT! But not with lights or candles! I need real outdoor sunlight!!!

Hope that made some sense!
