Is 20/70 bad vision? how bad? could my chronic migraines be causing my vision lo!


Question: Is 20/70 bad vision? how bad? could my chronic migraines be causing my vision loss?
about a year ago my vision was 20/35
today in gym we had an eye exam done and it was 20/70

how terribly bad is that??

i do have chronic migraines if that matters, but its not blood vessel related, its a nerve in the back of my head
could this affect it?

no, im not overweight and dont have high BP

btw im 13

any clue whats up? and i know this probably has nothing to do with it, but just in case... about 6 months ago i was diagnosed with anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder, but like i said, i dont think it matters.

20/70 means that you can see things (certain size letters) at 20 feet away what most people could read at 70 feet away. It's not terrible but you'd need to have contacts or glasses to pass a driving test.



20/70 is not that bad overall. You will need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to drive, but probably do not need to wear them all the time. Your vision may get worse as you grow, but should stabilize by your early 20's.

The migraines are probably not related to your vision, however the migraines may affect your vision while having one. The anxiety may and stress disorder may be related to your migraines. My friend has panic disorder and usually gets a bad migraine shortly before a panic attack. I suggest getting behavioral therapy such as counseling to help you better handle the anxiety and stress. Therapy typically produces better longer lasting results than medication and may help with the migraines.



HAHAHAHAH
