Me too! I’ve been legally blind since at least 5th grade. My sight started about - 4.50 and kept changing until my 20’s. I’m at - 5.50 now in contacts. (highly recommend Pair Eyewear online brand glasses p.s.)
I wouldn’t let it freak you out too bad. Tech is so good these days and there are lots of options. It’s never stopped me from living life and I see perfectly fine with corrective lenses. As long as your eyes are healthy (which it sounds like they are!)
p.p.s.
-negative is for near sighted and +positive is for far sighted
Pretty sure yeah. It just means you’re not allowed to drive or operate machinery without corrective lenses basically. I use it as a #FunFact moment or two truths and a lie etc
I have a friend that did something like that, and I believe it worked really well with her. I’m not sure if it’s the exact same thing but it sounds pretty similar! It’s a kind of laser surgery
You are too young to have these problems. I’ve had to wear glasses since I was 7 yrs old. I tried bifocals once. Did not like them. Not easy to get use to. I now have two pair of glasses. One for seeing and one for reading. But I am over 60. You would think in the 21st century there would be more help for you. I wish you the best
I’ve seen newer bifocal, not like my grandma’s, and it’s so nice how there’s no seam between the two prescriptions now. I’m seriously super blind, -9.5 in contacts, which is about -10.75 glasses. Like, in order to see my phone without glasses it can’t be more than 4.5 inches from my eyes (I literally measured) and I have super thick glasses, which I hate because it makes my normally big blue eyes, super tiny. I’ve been told I can’t do LASIK, because it won’t last for me, and I’d just have to do it again, so I have to basically get cataract-type surgery to get the same effect of LASIK for my eyes. I’ve worn glasses since third grade. I did have contacts for a while in highschool, and off and on since, but I always get so sick of having to put something in my eyes in order to see. I asked my eye Dr., “So when am I considered blind.” Her response, “Once we can no longer correct your vision.” I also have no pigment layer, so light just goes straight through into my eyes, so everything is constantly way too bright. It sucks.
