what are y'all's eyeglass strength? got new ones today and I was wondering how bad I have it lol
mine are -4.5 -4 D
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)
holy shit....
The crazy part is thats not even the worst ive heard of. My sister has a friend with a -12.5
Mine is smth like that too
I’m not worried abt it. Eventually they will make a rlly good surgery without risk for me to fix them
is lasik shit? My parents do not seem to like the idea of surgery at all
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
my guess is that it's a very common surgery so there's inevitably a lot more stories about it than less common ones
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
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?
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
I mean without glasses yeah, but the doctor doesn’t tell u ur legally blind he just says ur myopic and keeps it moving lol
-3.5, -3.75
it’s definitely not too bad but also not good eyesight lol
i love my glasses but prefer my contacts because makeup just
looks better but they’re so expensive
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)
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
lol turn ur weaknesses into strengths I guess, but damn that's crazy, all the best bro
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
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
I forgot my prescription lens strength. This is an underestimate. -2.75 right eye -2.5 left eye but my glasses have something else too to help with my astigmatism so that makes them more blurry.
I dont remember my numbers, but I'm near sighted. Up to a meter away I see perfectly, but then further away my vision gets blury. I still see the overall objects but I can't distinguish details.
-2 -2.5
idk why, it never increases. im glad im stuck with these numbers for years.
the last time I was at the ophthalmologist it was about -2 and -1.75 with night lenses. Without them it was -5, -5
