Answer 1

Yes, very bad.............Sorry.......I' m 31 and mine are -2.50 and -2.75

Answer 2

Your eyesight will continue to change until about your early 20s. I remember i asked my doc if my eyes were bad,and he said no. I think he said like if you are a .7+ then yes that is bad. So you dont have to worry,just make sure to wear your glasses everyday...:)

Answer 3

The dioptre measures are likely to stabilize around 20-25 yrs of age. It is advised to use spectacles or contacts for correcting the vision. Generally severe myopia measures above -6. In your case it is less than - 5, you only seem to have moderate mypoia. There is no need to worry. Around 20 yrs of age, you can go in for lasik surgery for correcting the vision. By this time your measurements would have stabilised.

Also make it a point to go in for thorough eye examinations every year to rule out retinal detachment and glaucoma.

Answer 4

Your left eye is probably -3.50, not 3.30. Prescriptions are written in 1/4 increments. (Ex:-3.25,-3.50, etc.) You are fairly near sighted . Don't be surprised if you go up in correction over the next few years. Have you given contacts a try yet?

I'm not sure what was so funny about your question that the other person had to "LMFAO".

Answer 5

lmfao thats not bad to me...im pretty sure one of my eyes is like 7. something LMFAOOOOOOO mine are really horrible...but as long as your not blind and they can be corrected it doesnt really matter if they are only slightly bad or really bad either way your going to need classes or contacts...

Answer 7

I think it isn't great but it isn't awful. I am -7.30 and -8.25 and my glasses are an inch thick. Good news is that I have had bad vision all my life and my eyes started off at -6.5 and once I was your age they were those first two ones. Now I am 25 and my vision is the same was it was when I was 16. I am sure I will get worse in life but for now I think you are okay, and unless you have a severe stigma you should be a candidate for lasik
