Do you want to know your vision with or without the contacts on? If with them on, you will have to ask your eye doctor who measured it.
If without, you really can't accurately calculate unaided acuity from your prescription. A best guess would be somewhere between 20/500 and 20/1000.

What will be worse is when you reach middle age and start developing the farsightedness commonly associated with getting older. Despite what some people told me when I was younger, it will not correct your nearsightedness. Mine is just as bad as it always has been. Now, I have to use reading glasses when I wear contacts. I haven't gotten bifocals yet because it's cheaper and easier for me to simply pull down my glasses to look at something close up. Apparently, being nearsighted does allow you to be able to keep your near vision when you get older but when it's being corrected by glasses or contacts, you notice that you can't read small print or see that well close up. I'm finding the effect to be really weird.

Basically, you would have to be 20 feet away from something 550 feet away to see it.
