Question

thanks for all the answers

so is it 20/ what?

60? 40?

Answer 1

this means you are nearsighted and i think one eye is -1.25 and the other is -0.75, right?

Imagine this   -0- (zero) is normal and this is what people who have 20/20 vision see without glasses or contact lens

nearsighted people wear negative like you -1.25 -0.75

farsighted people wear positive like +1.25 etc.

glasses are made in quarters  25,50,75,1.00 etc

your numbers mean that you probably see 20/20 with this Rx in your gls/cls

Answer 2

you are not able to see at a far distance. you could see close but not far. It would be wise if you get a pair of glasses, it will help your eyes focus a little more and aviod any headaces if you have any. You are not 20/20... you are about 40/20

Answer 3

as your eyes get worse, the numbers are going to go down (-2, -2.5, -3, etc).  Sorry, but you don't have perfect 20/20 vision anymore!  That's your perscription--  -1.25 is one eye, and -.75 is your other eye.  Those are the numbers you use to get glasses or contacts.

Answer 4

those are your prescription numbers for each eye.. and no, thats not perfect vision.

Answer 5

means that you are just a little bit near sighted.
