How bad are my wifes eyes?

Question

She has a -11 and a -13 prescription. How bad is this really? She is kind of freaking out about it.

Answer 1

very strong

Answer 2

That's actually a very strong prescription!! But as long as she is wearing the correction she will be fine. She won't go blind because her eye prescription is getting worse; it will be just a coincidence if she develops an eye condition that blinds her. Again, even if she is getting worse, as long has she has the right prescription she will be perfectly fine. No reason to freak out.

Answer 3

Why freak out about it...it didn't happen just yesterday.

It is very strong, but that's the way her eyes are. As long as she can see with glasses or contacts she is better off than those who are blind.

Answer 4

I don't want to alarm you but that is very severe.

She should have nothing to freak out about as long as she has the correct prescription glasses, she will be fine.

It is absolutely normal for eyes to get worse overtime. She should try to stop contributing to worsening her problem by reducing eye strain such as not reading in the dark and taking regular breaks from any activity which involves the eyes a lot.
