What I want to know is, why do my glasses never entirely fix my vision to 20/20? I go to an optometrist or to an opthamologist every year to get an eye exam done, and the perscription keeps getting strengthened (as is appropriate, I guess, as I am only 18). I know that not all of the doctors can be giving me the wrong perscription--different doctors have given me similar perscriptions each year, though always my perscription is strengthened. Yet I can still see only about 20/40 or 20/50.
It's not like my eyes are so bad that nothing could be done to corrrect them--my last perscription from an opthamologist was: OD: +1.00 diopters farsightedness, +1.00 diopters for astigmatism with a 120 axis; OS: -3.25 diopters nearsightedness, +.50 diopters for astigmatism, with a 90 axis. It's not like that perscription is particularly severe, I think.
Is it possible that my eye doctors keep assuming that my eyes are getting worse and strengthen the perscription, while it is too strong?
