LMFAO bro are you considering surgery? At what age?
ash_knuckles [#10]is lasik shit? My parents do not seem to like the idea of surgery at all
I heard some bad stories of it

the chances of your lasik going wrong are lower than the chances of you dying in a car accident, the surgery is as safe as it gets there's just a lot of fearmongering about it

I only watch TikTok of it, maybe if I did research I’d know that

why is that so?
cloudberry [#16]-4 left, -4.25 right (and also -0.5 astigmatism)
ayee we are blood brothers in disability 🗿🗿
lilan [#20]-8.75 (left), -9 (right) (astigmatism -2.5)
get on my level bro
sorry but how old are you (a broad estimate is fine) cause I know it progresses the older you get and are you considering surgery?
meowchan [#26]Idk if its rare but i have same in both eyes
-0.50 , -0.50
lowkey it is, typically one eye is worse/better than other
bE [#2]and I thought mine were bad
-3.25 -3
actually decent I wish mine were lower i just got an earful from my fam saying I'm "ruining my eyes"
KyLZi [#30]-4.5 L, -1.5 R
how the hell does that work 💀💀 you see almost clearly with one eye and completely shit with the other
Hades_Loves_Rb [#40]bruh every time i see anyone talking bout how bad their vision is they always say a number so high
(-14.5 Left eye, -15 Right eye)
did u mean to type -1.45 -1.5 or am I tweaking
ash_knuckles [#43]bro. Are u considering corrective surgery because what the fuck
cant-way too high for lasik. but doesnt matter much to me since ive been wearing glasses/contacts all my life so doesnt bother me
ash_knuckles [#19]why is that so?
my guess is that it's a very common surgery so there's inevitably a lot more stories about it than less common ones
Hades_Loves_Rb [#44]cant-way too high for lasik. but doesnt matter much to me since ive been wearing glasses/contacts all my life so doesnt bother me
jesus man. How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Is there just nothing that can be done medically?

im 18-thought ive had this perscription since i was 16/17, my eyes have always been shit and no not really. Like I said I dont mind though its not really a big thing for me-although I was able to write a killer college essay on it which got me into my top choice lmao

Are you legally blind then? I hope you don't mind me asking. Also are you allowed to get a drivers license with that?
ash_knuckles [#31]how the hell does that work 💀💀 you see almost clearly with one eye and completely shit with the other
I get headaches from the double vision sometimes. In general though it's whatever
unknown_trash [#50]Are you legally blind then? I hope you don't mind me asking. Also are you allowed to get a drivers license with that?
legally blind refers to corrected sight (so your vision with glasses/contacts, so if you are wering them and your eye sight is still bad then you are legally blind)-my perscription allows me regular sight (the same as a normal person without glasses/contacts-although slightly worse ofc since its not perfect) so im not which means I am able to drive

How far can you see without them?
unknown_trash [#53]How far can you see without them?
a couple inches like 3/4 (thats clear/regular) ofc i can see past that just blurry
Hades_Loves_Rb [#40]bruh every time i see anyone talking bout how bad their vision is they always say a number so high
(-14.5 Left eye, -15 Right eye)
Wait, I thought ±9 was legally blind
unknown_trash [#53]How far can you see without them?
fun fact the formula for that is just 1/dioptry, applicable to both nearsight and farsight math
cloudberry [#55]Wait, I thought ±9 was legally blind
thats with your best glasses/contacts on-when i wear mine my vision is same as someone with 20/20 so im not legally blind

Ah ok gotcha
ash_knuckles [#11]LMFAO bro are you considering surgery? At what age?
unsure when i'll have laser eye surgery but yeah lol
ash_knuckles [#29]actually decent I wish mine were lower i just got an earful from my fam saying I'm "ruining my eyes"
its crazy how poor education is still so visible todaay in the whole "youre ruining your eyes by looking at monitors for too long"
But yea -4.5 is crazy mine is around 1.75 on each eye with some astigmatism (0.75 and .25 respectively)
Cabo_ [#3]YALL BLIND ASF
-7.-7.25
holy shit....
The crazy part is thats not even the worst ive heard of. My sister has a friend with a -12.5
ash_knuckles [#10]is lasik shit? My parents do not seem to like the idea of surgery at all
yea i mean i myself regardless of anyone elses opinions dont exactly enjoy the thought of my eyes layers getting peeled and then lasered away
I have an extreme phobia regarding anything touching my eyes. I writhe in pain opening my eyes in the pool or even in the shower even though there isnt any actual physical pain im experiencing
