Samurai136 0 #9 December 14, 2006 There are a lot of variables to vision correction but think of it a a sliding scale Near Sighted------------Normal-------------Far sighted The prescription for the near sighted person would be correcting their vision towards the right side of the scale. The person with 20/20 vision wearing the same glasses would have their vision "corrected" the same amount towards the farsighted direction of the scale.You would have a sense of how much correction a person needs but would not know exactly how the world looked to them."Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeak 17 #11 December 14, 2006 QuoteYou seem to be quite confident in your answer. How did you come to this conclusion? basic physics, the lens work to move the focal point of light so that it corrects the eyesight by moving it in one direction (forward or back) to the focal point on the eye. So regardless of who who wear the lenses they will always move the focal point of light in the same directionYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

peregrinerose 0 #12 December 14, 2006 Everybody else is right... no, you will not see what they see. Glasses powers tell how much light needs to bend to focus on the retina. The ideal prescription is 0. Say a person's eye focuses light 1 diopter too much... the glasses need to compensate by bending light 1 diopter less (which is why the script is written as -1.00). If the person's eyes don't focus light enough by 1 diopter, then the glasses need to focus light more by one diopter, so the script is +1.00. If light focuses exactly on your retina and you put on someone's +1.00 glasses, a -1.00 is needed to get you back to 0.... so you'd be seeing what someone with a -1.00 prescription sees.

wildcard451 0 #15 December 14, 2006 QuoteSo whats the worst prescription someone can have that is able to be corrected by glasses? well, I am out in the -6.00 and -6.50 range, and I know I am by far not the worst. if I remember correctly I had a friend in HS that was out near 10 and wore contacts.... could be wrong about that one though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #18 December 14, 2006 Quotewell, I am out in the -6.00 and -6.50 range, I'm a -8.5 and i'm scared i'm gonna end up blind or something. I always forget to ask my eye doctor what the worst ever scrip is. I'm limited as to what contacts i can get cause not all brands go up to -8.5. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

peregrinerose 0 #20 December 14, 2006 There really is no limit. I've seen from -28.00 to +40.00. The prescription is pretty irrelavent as long as the person sees 20/20 with correction. It's the people that won't see 20/20 no matter what glasses or contacts they have that have real problems. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #21 December 14, 2006 You have your script written weirdly, but looks like you have two focal points instead of one. That's what astigmatism is. That's what the two numbers are... the two focal points that need to be corrected for. Everybody has some degree of astigmatism just because eyes aren't perfectly spherical. It's not a big deal.

peregrinerose 0 #22 December 14, 2006 As long as you are seeing 20/20 with the contacts (and make sure you own a backup pair of glasses!), that's the important part. The number on the script is just a meaningless number. There are a lot of good lenses now that go up to -10ish. Purevision is probably my favorite to fit... relatively inexpensive, monthly, and extremely high oxygen transmission, so very healthy. Oasys just expanded their parameters to fit you, that's a 2 week lens, also high oxygen transmission... you have lots of options now.

The best I have been able to pull off is 20/40 and it gave me a headache to squint that hard. At a normal eye appointment, I am 20/60 and uncorrectable. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?
