That is absolutely awful. That's gotta be like -9 diopters. I thought I was bad at -3.

Yes it was really bad. She was correctable up to 20/20 though so it wasn't too bad, as long as she had her contacts in.

I'm at -4.25 and -3.75. I am essentially blind without my glasses on.

My contact lens boxes say -3.25 for the left eye, and -3 for the right. Do you know what that translates to in terms of 20/?

isn't it lasik anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think lasik is just a brand type thing, like calling tissues "kleenex".

[/ QUOTE ]

LASIK is an (almost) acronym. It means Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis. There are variations on the procedure with slightly different names, like LASEK or ELASEK/epi-LASEK.

I have been thinking about getting it done myself, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

It will be interesting to see if Mason responds to this post.
