What is the highest perscription you can get for your eyes?

Question

I'm just wondering since my eyes are 20/350 and 20/375. I know that is awful because it feels awful. Also does Lasik eye surgery make your vision 20/20?

Answer 1

hi
i have seen people with worse vision than u have but with spects or lenses their vision was improved very much to a satisfying level, now i ur case i m guessing that wat u have described is ur vision without glasses.
and i can imagine ur power will be around -5.00 to -6.00 sph which i can say its not too high coz i see people with power around 11.00 to 12.00 sph working normally with spects or lenses.
ofcourse u should consult ur doctor about lasik, there are many people who's vision is restored back to 20/20 from almost blind. so lasik can be helpful to u to get rid of ur spects.
any more advices u need contact me on [e-mail]
i m a qualified optometrist runnin my own optical shop.

Answer 2

I have a relative who is around a -9 in both eyes. If she takes her contacts out she can put her hand in front of her and not be able to see it. However, I am not sure what her vision actually is.

As far as lasik surgery, I think it varies. Only a qualified professional can determine even if you are a good candidate for it. From people who I know who have had it, they have said it was great and they never had to wear glasses or contacts after that, but I am not sure if that is the case for everybody.

Answer 3

Is that your vision with or without glasses?

If without, then your vision is moderately bad, I'm guessing your prescription is somewhere between -3.00D and -5.00 if you are myopic.

There really is no upper limit to refractive error, myopes with over -30.00D error (ten times as high as yours) have been recorded.

LASIK is a substitute for glasses; if you get 20/20 with glasses then you could get 20/20 after LASIK. If you don't get 20/20 with glasses, you won't get 20/20 with LASIK.
