What's my vision problem? (20/x) What happens at the eye doctor to get your eye !


Question:

What's my vision problem? (20/x) What happens at the eye doctor to get your eye exam?

I have this increaingly blur of things far away. I know I am near-sighted. This began about a year ago. A year ago, I never had glasses/contacts. I see double shadows, but I do not confuse colors. Double shadowing begins at about 1 meter away, but it is not that strong. About 4 meters away, it is slightly tronger. From wall to the opposite wall about 100 meteres, it is super blurred. I want to find what vision do I have, 20/40 vision, 20/30, what?

I read a lot and use the computer about 8 hours each day on the weekends. Not so mucch on weekdays. My monitor is actually an LCD screen so there isnt any radiation. My dad had eye near-sighted problems, and my brother got the same thing. I was told it was passed down by heredity. My mother had no problems with her eyes.

And please explain what happens at an eye exam? Procedures, the machines, everything.

And I heard you could focus youreyes back to 20/20 vision with glasses. You need to teach yourself to focus. True or no?

Thank.


Answers:

Actually you may have 20/20 vision, but at the same time have what is called an astigmatism. It makes whatever minor problems you have worse. Mainly metals don't seem as bright, blurry visions, and problem seeing and reading things far off.

All that they do is put a device in front of your eyes that flips different prescriptive lenses in front of your eyes and you tell the doctor which is better. He will shine a light in your eye a little, and they will blow a little puff of air in your eye to check for glaucoma.
