Not me!
"strong" in one.
"stronger" in the other.
one also has a prism in to correct my natural double vision.
me!
I predict I will win this.
Right eye -7.5
Left eye -8.5
I can see nothing without my glasses.
WOW!
I think I was probably the same as you
at your age.
How old were you when you got glasses, Tristan? I was 4. Speccy child.
12
She said the probably won't change much once i stop growing, and i think i more or less have. They've only changed like 0.5 in the last two years or so...
my are still going
ah well, it goes to -14 apparently!
it would be a really awesome talking point!
you've got a fair way to go yet though!
I've no idea
other than my left eye is the shitter one.
MINE SAYS
You have to take your glasses medication at all times during the day. But I've lost them and IM FUCKING BLIND I HAVE THIS PERMANENT SCOWL ON MY FACE TRYING TO MAKE THINGS OUT. It also means I never pull an ugly person. EVA
5.25 and 5.5
i don't know which is which - i think i have my contacts in the wrong eyes a lot - but whats a .25 between eyes?
all I know
is that my left eye is weak.
The fact I haven't replaced my glasses doesn't help this matter.
- 2.25 both eyes last time I looked.
Sometimes the world looks fuzzy in the morning and I like it that way.
SNAP!
me too. i remember putting my glasses on for the first time and looking in the mirror. It was like seeing a whole new person. It was kind of depressing, actually.
right eye is slightly weaker.
One lense also has a prism in as well. I had to get new glasses in June for my driving test, as my eyes are getting worse. :(
-5.25 L -5.5 R
Haven't changed since I was 21.
SNAP!
L - 6.5 R - 7.0
Mine's been pretty constant since I was 18/19.
Me
I think I'm 7ish in one and 8ish in the other.
I can't survive without my glasses :(
hi five!
blindo.
I'd high five you
but I'd probably miss :(
About the same
- without glasses anything over a few inches away from my eyes is unreadable
me
one's 6-ish the other's 7-ish
i've had glasses since i was 5
8-(
is seeingotherpeople difficult?
:D
yeah
officially i'm about -1 in each
but that is wrong. they've deteriorated so much in the last 15 months.
my sister is
minus 13 in her left eye. beat that.
it'd probably be quite easy.
her depth perception must be fucked without the glasses.
i reckon she wouldn't even know it was me hitting her.
I used to be -2.25 left, -2.5 right
Now I'm -1.75 left, -2.0 right. YEAH!
WHY DOES NOBODY CARE THAT MY EYESIGHT HAS GOT BETTER?!
God, I hate you.
-3.25
in both eyes. It's telling of this forum that someone could start a thread like this and be sure they would get enough replies for it to work.
heheh
why would everyone here have bad eyesight?
-7 in my left, -2 in my right
Bad or what?
Are minus numbers short-sighted and positive numbers long sighted?
yep
I don't think anyone really knows
are there any decent places
to get glasses on the internet? I got my sight tested and need a pair now and was so frustrated after being in specsavers for an hour I left without looking at glasses.
I am -1 in both or something like that.
R -5.00 L -4.75
Looks like we got ourselves a bunch of readers.
ie everyone seems to be short sighted.
If you take the reciprocal of your short sighted prescription that's (approx) the number of metres you can clearly in front of you. So me = about 20cm. Lame. You are fascinated.
wow
i didn't realise how blind we all were. mine is -6 each eye.
i am nearly as blind as you!
wow :D
Minus 9 in both
WINNER!
WOH.
i am... erm.... 2.75 and 2.5 i think.
Yes
my specky-itis is something of exceptional wonder.
My 65 year old dad can walk around and do his day to day business comfortably.
You should see me going swimming in the bastards. They weigh me down. No shallow end for Billy!
* deep end
very busy laughing at Extras.
my dad pwns you all
-10
i'm about
-9.5, -9.0 so I'm close! Although that was when I last went to the opticians two years ago so it's probably worse now. And I'm only 20, which doesn't bode well for the future. But oh well, advance in medical technology will save me....
MY VISION RULES.
I'm a..
-2.75 or near enough in both eyes, and I feel pretty blind. I also have stigmatism and I'm colour blind. I failed the test with all the colourful numbers in it.
minus 6 in both eyes
i feel like a mole without my glasses
