Just how bad is my eyesight?!
Question:
Just how bad is my eyesight?
I am nearsighted. My Rx for contact lenses is -4.25 in both eyes. I am assuming that is a fairly strong prescription.
Answers:
It's enough... as you already know!
by -1.00 people should not be driving without glasses.
by -2.50 most will not want to walk down the street without them.
"severe" short-sight starts at -6.00 for some obscure official and legal purposes.
I get up to -13.50 in my worst eye, which makes yours not quite that impressive.
I've made glasses for -22.00 and contact lenses for -28.00, which makes mine look less impressive.
