How bad are your eyes?

[JimRaynor]

So the broad gives me the test and everything and my prescription went up again (no surprise). I am now -6.50 in each eye (contacts) I got astigmatism (news to me) and I failed the color blind test. Despite all that, I think I see fine. Still though, it would be nice if my eyes didn't blow that bad. What's the minimum to be classified as "legally blind?" I know I hit that years ago... TT_TT

bleh I dont know, i know im legally blind though, but its correctable.

I have 20/200 vision. I can kind of see the big "E" on the chart.

i can;t read the text on the screen, whats this thread about???

 

[Azraele]

I'm at -6.50 both eyes..

 

[erub]

-1.5 in both eyes, with a slight astigmatism - i can read stuff up close fine without glasses (and usually do), if i feel like seeing something i have to wear glasses (to drive, watch TV, etc).

I have 20/15 vision. But it's starting to slip. I'm having more and more trouble focusing on anything close up. That, or my arms are getting shorter.

I also have a very slight astigmatism that developed a couple years ago in my right eye. Not enough to make the chart unreadable, but just enough to feel like I need to fine tune the focus. And the weird thing is, it comes and goes.

Growing old kinda sucks.

My vision was 20/15 (eagle eyes) until I was in my mid 50's. Now, I use reading glasses.

That's what I get for writing the title song to the movie, "Can I Do It 'Til I Need Glasses?" :Q :music:

Contact Prescription:
L -3.25 R -5.00

 

[JimRaynor]

Azraele is that for glasses or contacts?

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Mine is around -5 in both, but not exactly the same

 

[alkemyst]

contacts -4.50/-4.75 w/min toric correction

reading ability is sort of separate, since even in the best of seers it diminishes in time.

Fortunately for me I have learned in the bedroom it's more touch and go, that see and go .

 

[dmurray14]

I believe legally blind is -4

Perfect vision.

Ready?

L +10 / R +10

Vision classification (ie 20/20, 20/40) - Light Perception

Yes, I was a coke bottle kid in elementary school, but now I wear contacts.

Same here. 20/20, no astigmatism, no signs of near or farsightedness. Never wore glasses or contacts, and never want to.

 

[MisterPresident]

-2.50 left, -2.25 right luckily, haven't been getting worse in the last 5 years or so.

 

[TommyVercetti]

Who said that?

 

[paruhd0x]

-2.70 and -2.75 and slight astigmatism

Got glasses next week and they read the darn guy's handwriting wrong and gave me bad glasses, so I get to wait 2 weeks again for replacement glasses.

Tell me about it, they visited my eyes afterwords and raped my left one.
And talked my right eye into going drunken cow tipping.....

-3.50 here. How does the scale for contacts work anyway? Would -3.5 mean my vision is better or worse than say someone elses -6.5?

actually, its -3.75 in one eye and -3.25 in the other, but the doctor said it was safe to go to -3.5 so that i dont have to start keeping track of which contact is which.

Sidenote: those Night & Day contacts KICK ASS!!! I've had them now for just under a week, and don't have to take them out for cleaning, sleeping, etc. IN just over three weeks from now, i just throw them away and toss in a new pair.

 

[ElFenix]

-3.25 and -4.00

those are the numbers that are on the boxes of the contacts i've had the past 3 years. i found a 6 year old glasses prescription with -3.00 and -4.00 on it. the difference is they upped the power due to my astigmatism. no torics for me.

20/10

My eye doctor (also my uncle) kicked me out of his office after I read the bottom line.
