What sense would you choose?

Just remembered that if you lose one of your senses, your other senses become more acute to compensate. Recent scientists have been doing experiments where they'd somehow disable a sense, such as eyesight with a blindfold.
I wonder if messing with the body this way can improve your eyesight so you don't have to wear glasses or contacts if you have a prescription.

It would be nice (though I quite enjoy wearing glasses) but, alas, I don't believe it would work (and correct me if I'm wrong) as loss of sight is down to a physical deterioration of the eye.

Yea, I forgot about that. I have astigmatism = more oval eyes.

WHOA! I have stigmata too!!!

Anyways, I would trade smell for hearing... super human hearing would be gnarly...

Also, is this a 100% loss of a sense? Because if not, I only want to lessen the strength of smell, about 25% efficiency, and a 75% boost in hearing...

You should get that checked out. That's a pretty uncommon occurrence.

Somewhat: "Forty-five percent of people who require vision correction have some degree of astigmatism."
