What is your eye prescription?

Question

I'm very farsighted. mine is +4.25 in the right eye and +5.25 in the left eye. someone told me that if you have really light colored eyes you are more likely to have bad eyesight, and I have light green and I'm only 16 years old, so is that true?

Answer 1

I'd never heard that about light colored eyes, but mine are green and I have bad eyesight.  I am near-sighted with astigmatism.  Mine prescription is -6.00 for both eyes.

Answer 2

The light eye colors usually only applies to when you get older. There is a higher chance for people with light eyes to have both cataracts and macular degeneration.

Many many many people have bad eye sight so don't think you are abnormal or anything, it's just the cards you were dealt.

Answer 3

Mine is about +1.25 - 50 x 90   add  + 225 in each eye.  VA = 20/20.

When I was in high school it was -,25 - .50 x 80  and -.50sph.

I had about 20/30.  Now I have 20/20 without.

Explain this.

Answer 4

Eye color has nothing to do with your visual acuity.  My eyes are bluish grey and my right eye has normal vision and my left eye has a moderate amount of astigmatism.

I know people with light and dark eyes that have poor vision when uncorrected.  As long as your vision can be corrected you are fine.

My current prescription is left eye Plano -1.50 X50 and my right eye has no correction.  I usually wear a contact lens in my left eye when I go out and eyeglasses as needed while at home for distance.  I typically wear them for playing video games on the xbox 360 because I have difficulty reading the game's text with my left eye.

Answer 5

Some people have worse vision than others, and it's totally normal! :)

The light eye thing I've heard about but what I heard was that it makes light eyes more prone to sun damage.

My right eye is +2.50 and my left eye is +2.75.

Answer 6

No, it's not true. Light colored eyes tend to stay dilated longer after an eye exam and have the drops put in than someone with darker eyes, but that's about it.

My Rx is +1.25 in both eyes. Plus I have a slight astigmatism in both eyes.

Have a great day!

Answer 7

My vision isn't bad, it's more inconvenient because there's a big difference between them, now I've discovered contact lenses I prefer to wear them over glasses. My prescription is left eye -2 and right eye -3.
