Heck, I wear glasses but can see pretty good.  It is hard for me to get 
past the visual thing.  Most of the time when I see a captcha, I just 
say forget it and go elsewhere.  There is nothing worse than trying to 
help someone else and having to spend ten minutes to get past one of 
those things.  Write a 1 minute answer/solution and spend 10 minutes 
trying to answer the captcha.  It just isn't worth all that.

I have never seen the others where you have to complete a word or 
phrase.  I wouldn't even try those.
