I still don't understand the bit about defining normal, healthy vision as undesirable and dysfunctional, while valuing impaired vision that works best at night and in low-light conditions.

There are many issues here that have nothing to do with income, as I believe has been gently pointed out throughout the thread.
How would it make your vision worse? You just said it's possible to have it corrected. It sounds like you've normalized living in the dark, and are defining normal, healthy vision that allows people to live normal lives as dysfunctional.
I had mild photophobia while my doctor was trying to figure out a contacts/allergy/dry eye situation, and she said that it's usually always treatable. It's a symptom of various conditions, and once you treat those conditions it goes away.
And while I know people have been giving the OP crap about his house, just the outside gives me pause. It's not a very welcoming sight. Maybe I read/watch way too much true crime, but I can just imagine pulling up outside and thinking, "oh, this is a trick. This is the part where I get mugged."
What is with the bars on the window? Is the Dallas area that dangerous?
my mother lives in a rather nice middle class neighborhood and she has burglar bars also, and an alarm service, and so do many of her neighbors but like most of her neighbors her and my dad(passed away) did not grow up in such a neighborhood first generation into the middle class, most of the older blacks retired from military/post office/government contractor and UAW jobs who moved into that area in the late 70's and early 80's .
And also security systems, and burglar bars can't stop someone who really wants in but what they will do is make the average burglar pick the next house that does not have bars as most of them want to get in and out ASAP.
I grew up in the area, and you tend to see it more in Hispanic communities. Even very safe ones. It might be a cultural thing.
I've been scouting out areas to live in the ABQ area online and I've noticed more bars on windows than I'm comfortable with. Even so called nice areas there a lot of homes that have bars on the windows. I was informed by people in the ABQ forum is that due to the fact that a lot of people have evap coolers instead of or in addition to AC that when you run them they require that windows be left open to operate properly.
I don't know if that is true or not, took it on face value. Here in So Cal you only see bars on windows in what are clearly known as crappy areas. Compton, Inglewood, south central LA, those places that most people know are bad areas.

Because I don't view my vision as impaired if anything I view yours as impaired because you can't see things that I can see easily. (that's not meant as an insult just an observation) I can put on 2 dollar shades to see like you, you would need expensive light amp goggles to see like me, and only at short distance.
And no I don't see in nightvision like on specops games, its more like if you turn the light and contrast up on your TV. in complete darkness I'm just as blind as you but ad just a little light I see fine where other people are pumping into chit.
If you have ever had your eyed dilated that's close to how I see but without the blurriness.

This is exactly what I mean. This odd view. It's not normal to think this way. But if you're willing to accept the consequences of your choices, and explain to potential love interests that you prefer to not to treat your vision issue, and prefer to live in somewhat cave-like conditions, and live somewhat as a night owl, and that you're looking for a woman who's ok with that, well---good luck to you. That's your choice. But don't come to us telling us that your challenge in the dating realm relates to difficulties finding women who are ok with a low-key guy who doesn't have a lot of money to spend. That is not remotely you main issue, no matter how you choose to dress it.
