In Indonesia it's a common question for people with glasses/contacts. We ask "minus/plus berapa?" (literally "how much is your minus/plus?") How do we ask this question in English?
Also, if I'm -3.00, how do I say it in English?


Answers:

Yes I would have to agree with Paul here....typically people do not really ask what type of prescriptions others have unless they are friends or family members. If you need to ask somebody you can ask someone if they are nearsighted (meaning they have myopia or a minus prescription) or farsighted (meaning they have hyperopia or plus prescription) or "do you have a plus or minus prescription?"
It is true that many people probably have no idea what type of prescription they may have!

If you were asked.... you could answer " I am moderately myopic" or "I have myopia" or "I am nearsighted" or "I have minus prescription" or "the strength of my prescription is minus three"

Anyways that is just a few ideas for you :)
