Last time I had my eyes checked, I could read the 20/13 line. That was about 7 or 8 years ago.
I don't know if I could read the 20/13 line any more, but the 20/20 line shouldn't be an issue for me.

Speaking of lasik. If I know my eyes gradually get worse each year(thankfully I am down to a new perscription every 2 years instead of every year) will lasik even help? Will my eyes continue to worsen or will the worsening stop after lasik?


There are other alternatives to Lasik, just not as widely known in the states yet. Procedures like inter-occular lenses etc. That is what I'm looking into because it is reversible if needed. I'm basically blind in one eye from a motorcycle accident and crap ass vision in the other.

Never had my eyes checked, so I'm not sure what my vision "numbers" are. Never had a problem seeing though
