Post your eyesight prescription

[devilsadvocate]

Hello

I am far sighted and have struggled with vision problems since I was young.

I have a lazy left eye and weakish right one.

+6 in left (just to balance, little vision in this eye)
+4.25 in right

Can't see a post on this so wondered how bad other peoples eyes were?

[welshy23]

mine are pretty good, never had a problem ever and family dont suffer/ wear glasses. I dont get headaches or any other tell tell signs of eye sight problems touch wood. Wouldnt know where to begin with eye jargon!! All i know is my mate wears contacts and the amount of money he pays for everything! fucking extorition!!! God hates his eyesight lawls.

I have no idea what my prescriptions have been but a few years back I was short sighted, couldn't see a thing in the distance. I had laser eye surgery and now have better than 20/20 vision, can ready the very bottom line on the eye chart :D very pleased with my vision now.

I haven't been to the Opticians for about 8 years. Ideally, I need to go again.
My eyes go funny every now and then.

It would have to be to see your 'tool'

I always had very good vision, dont know where i get it from mum has glasses for reading and dads eyes are just real bad but hey i am not complaining.

Hmmm seems im in the minority then lol.

I am long sighted so struggle to see things close up without contact lenses!

Sucks that I can't have laser surgery either

I was going to say that that is some major eye disfunction you've got - no to laser? Why's that?

Mine is -0.75 (corrected by 2 steps over the last 2 years woop woop)

I have a stigmatism(sp) that apparently makes my eyes actually like rugby balls.

It means I see double, but I have done since I was born so I'm sort of used to it now.

Left eye is really bad, - 2nd line from the top and 3rd with glasses.
Right eye is short sighted - not to good without but with I can read the bottom line :)

Cant remember my persciption its been 2 years since my last appointment. This thread has reminded me to visit spec savers before xmas.

Never had mine done but have been getting head aches lately so might go and get em checked :)

I can have laser on the right eye but not the left as it doesn't cure lazy eye, which is what I have.

Problem is that there is a risk with it (like 1 in 200 I think) so if it goes wrong then I will be legally blind due to my left eye not being able to read the top letter on the chart with or without glasses!

I am short sighted and wear a contact lens only in my right eye which is -1.5.

I was born with a cataract in the left eye which used to cause a lot of glare and was very uncomfortable in sunlight so I have no detailed vision in this eye at all even though I had the cataract taken out early this year. I hate wearing glasses and contact lenses are so expensive! I went to optical express in June 2010 and they pretty much refused to perform laser on my right eye because of the nature of the cataract in the left.

I think they would still refuse to do laser as my left eye has never learnt to process the image fully and I'm not sure if I could take the risk of having the op even if they were willing to do it.

don't worry mate i'm the same iirc if my eyes get 1/2 unit worse i'll be classed a partially blind :panic:

hope i'll be able to get lazer treatment as contact lenses are a no go for me cause it's about the same cost cause mine would have to be specially made :(
