Am i blind? Eye Prescription?

Question

My eyes have a power of -3.25. is that SUPER bad or are there people worse than me?

Answer 1

well mine are +3.50 and +4.50

and they go up every year pretty much .

your prescription is actually a very common one. my mum is the same as you.

you have bad eye sight but its nothing to  worry about

Answer 2

Err, I get to -13.50 in the worst meridian of the eye .

(only -7.00 in the best meridian of the best eye )

It is impossible to go blind sheerly on the strength of the prescription alone.  You can't even be "legally blind" while glasses or contacts deliver reasonable vision, whatever the necessary Rx.  This is a common misconception.

Sorry, -3.25 is a significant Rx but it's not that unusual or impressive.

Answer 3

No you are not blind, you have a moderate prescription for nearsightedness (myopia).  I know people with much higher prescriptions than you have.
