How bad is your vision?

[purr]

I was just at the eye doctor yesterday.. I had one congenital cataract removed last year with an intraocular implant and now the vision in my eye is worse than before surgery. I had 20/40 vision in it, now its 20/70!!! Good news, my other eye is 20/25 so I only had to get ONE contact lol.

How bad/good is yours?

1. Both eyes need lenses of less than -2 dioptres

I have an astigmatism in both eyes as well.

2. I have perfect vision

But then again, I am only 41 years old.

3. I have something called Keratoconus in one eye

My vision there is messed up majorly. I have to close one eye to read at night.
The other eye just has an astigmatism.

4. I was a -9 (20/900) in both eyes until Lasik.

Now I am about -.5 in one eye and -2 in the other. Of course, in comparison I feel like it is perfect vision!

5. I thought this read "How bad is your fission."

6. It's SO BAD...

I sometimes pick a book to read by the size of the text; if it's too small I can't go there. :banghead:

7. Don't even bother to memorize my scrip cause it changes about

1x per year. Astigmatism in both eyes, and map dot dystrophy which may make me blind when about 70, but I plan to be dead by then, so I'm not really worried.

13. Interesting plan, Shoeempress! LOL nt

15. It helps with a lot of things, not so worried about Social Security for

me. Although I am for others

8. It was around 20/200 with astigmatism

I had lasic 4 years ago and it's still 20/15. Best $3000 I ever spent!

9. If I can touch it I can't read it

and if I can read it I can't touch it. Getting old sucks.

11. So your name

suits you! I kid! If it makes you feel any better, I was born with a lazy eye, so not only can't I see due to my advancing age, but I have an eye that can't be corrected. Yep, suckage!

10. I have fairly good vision,

but my doc said my eye pressure was high normal. So, I have to get it checked again this year b/c that could indicate Glaucoma. I hope it doesn't, but I found out that my grandfather has Glaucoma and it is hereditary! :scared: And I am only 26, but if they catch it early, that is a good thing!

My husband is almost legally blind. He is +750. He has true coke bottle glasses. Thank God for contacts!

12. better than 20/20

must have been all that reading in dim light as a child.

but but seeinging closer than 6 inches away has diminished.
poor poor me, eh?

i come from a liniage of bad eyes, not sure how i lucked out.

14. I had a cataract replaced in my worst eye. The other needs it now.
