My eyesight??

Question

My contact prescription is -1.00. So what is the number over 20? As in 20/ ..? Is my vision bad or good?

Answer 1

The 20/20 value is your visual acuity.

It isn't possible to know what it is by seeing the prescription.

You are most likely 20/20 with the glasses on, but what it is without your glasses is a different story.

If you really have to know, the Dr. will have those results in your file, just call and ask.

You know how well you can see without your glasses...so that's how bad it is. It is a mild correction, but will certainly clear up your distance vision.

Answer 2

Your vision still great! it usually starts with -0.25 then so on (-.75, -.100,- 1.25 ending at -9.0 examples). -9.0 Is very bad sight miope(can see close but not far away of 2 to 3 feet) usaually combined with astigmatism in which gets worse. Dont worry about ur sight number you are good. mine is -5.0 thats bad!  I cant live without my glasses thats when you have to start worrying (I even sleep with them). try everything possible to not worsen your sight like staring close to a TV or computer, etc. aslo rest when you feel like you need to. Hope this helped
