Please don't take this the wrong way, but having lived with my eyesight my entire life, I know exactly what is safe and what isn't.
There's a speed above which my 20/50 eyesight stops being enough to ride safely; my estimate is about 15-20 MPH. This is slow enough to be able to react to anything in front of me even though I can't see well more than about 250 feet away.
I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but your "I know what's best for you" thinking would be horribly totalitarian if held by the wrong person. One of these deranged leftists thinking like you do would be violently accosting cyclists on the road and attacking them just like these mask fanatics are.
I know how to behave safely and how to ride on the roads safely. If you suddenly had eyesight like mine, you might not feel safe, but after several decades of living with it, you would make the necessary adjustments and develop the ability to be safe; believe me.
