Hi, is my eyesight really bad?

Question

The measurements are -2.75 and -3.00. I have heard that -4.00 to -6.00 is moderate. So, are my measurements considered low?

Answer 1

I don't know what you can see on an eye chart, but -2.75 is a fairly high Rx.

Answer 2

There are people with more than -8.00sph and and -4.00cyl

you are in a normal group.

Answer 3

In fact your eyesight is not bad ,your eyes are merely near sighted (myopic) which means you need minus lenses to correct your refractive error and then you are able to see normally.

Answer 4

cant you tell for yourself?

Answer 5

Like others have said, that isn't too bad.  Mine are -2.50 in both eyes now - oddly enough, the older I get the better my eyes have become.  I am less near-sighted now than I was when I was 10 or 20 years younger.

Answer 6

Mine are -7.00 and I consider them to be HORRIBLE. lol

Yours, I would say, are low/moderate.

Answer 7

you should see a PROFESSIONAL eye doctor, if youre that concerned-

duh.

Answer 8

i dont know what those mean, just take an eye exam

Answer 9

-4.00 to -6.00 is moderate on the possible scale. at your eyesight, you probably see around 20/300, which is pretty d**n bad as far as seeing in general without correction. I have seen people with vision as bad as -13.00 or -15.00. The scale goes up to -24.00.

Answer 10

yes id say yours are a little less than normal. mine are both around -5.00
