I am nearsighted. My Rx for contact lenses is -4.25 in both eyes. I am assuming that is a fairly strong prescription.

It's enough... as you already know!
by -1.00 people should not be driving without glasses.
by -2.50 most will not want to walk down the street without them.
"severe" short-sight starts at -6.00 for some obscure official and legal purposes.
I get up to -13.50 in my worst eye, which makes yours not quite that impressive.
I've made glasses for -22.00 and contact lenses for -28.00, which makes mine look less impressive.

It's fairly strong but not the strongest I've seen. Please make sure you have a spare set of glasses in case of emergency (like if one pair breaks). You are blessed you can see even if with the help of glasses. I've seen many that can't be corrected (blind) even with glasses.

well scripts available in contacts range in diopters from -0.25 to - 13.00 so if your -4.00 it aint as bad as some other px's we've seen
