So we put money aside and I got LASIK last year, and now I'm 20/20... LIFE CHANGING. I've worn glasses since 1st grade. I was borderline for LASIK... very happy I qualified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision/page/2#post-2054958 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 22:40:22 +0000 fancyfunction 2054958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm around a -6.75 in each eye.

I mean it sure feels bad to me when I'm not wearing glasses and can't see anything further than a foot away!</p> <p>I am -2.5 and -3.0. I am nearsighted, so when I read, I take off my glasses. I was going to get LASIK and then I found out that if I do, because I'm nearsighted, I'll be more likely to need bifocals by 40. So I'm unsure :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1880270 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 08:36:02 +0000 erwoo 1880270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo.... b/c I'm just old (:P), I am the opposite. I was never near sighted but am now slightly far sighted. Why or why did I decide to get my eyes checked randomly at Costco last week?! I've been a little depressed about it since. I guess I must take after my mom who became far sighted a little early in her late 30s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1880267 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 08:24:21 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1880267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm -9 in both :( want to look into Lasik </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1880243 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 07:22:32 +0000 LemonLong 1880243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, there are some pretty high prescriptions on this board! I'm -6.0 and -5.75 in my contacts. My husband is like -1 in his glasses and I just roll my eyes whenever he complains about his vision. I don't think he really understands waking up in the morning and not being able to see anything until you put your glasses on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1880209 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 05:26:02 +0000 Grace 1880209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: My sister had her's replaced because of cateracts and they are no where near the miracle she was told they'd be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1880170 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 00:04:29 +0000 FancyGem 1880170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I need to get my eyes checked.

And I can't wear any of the semi-comfortable soft contact lenses because they don't make them strong enough.</p> <p>I don't think I'll ever get Lasik though...the idea of it just creeps me out. And I don't really mind my glasses, they just feel like a part of me at this point. An expensive part of me since I have to pay tons extra to get the lenses made thinner/less shiny than they usually are with a super high prescription...but a part of me nonetheless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878965 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:47:52 +0000 MK0180 1878965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: Oh gosh that sucks that you're allergic to your contacts! I was also quoted 20k for the surgery, so it'll be a while.... </p> <p>@ValentineMommy: I have/had a multitude of little holes in my retinas that required laser surgery to close them so that they didn't tear. So sorry that you went through that. </p> <p>Good to know I'm not the only blind bee out there.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878950 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:37:27 +0000 yin 1878950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-1.25 (l) and -1.5 (r) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878922 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:06:58 +0000 yerpie110 1878922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20/20, naturally :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878916 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 13:00:28 +0000 ValentineMommy 1878916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm -10.5 in the L and -11 in the right. It's bad. Worn glasses since I was 4. Both retinas have detached in the past few years (and were reattached). Having extreme nearsightedness cause the retinas to tear. :(</p> <p>@MK0180: I feel you on the heavy glasses. We are both approaching the limit for contact power, I believe....I think it only goes up to 15, and those are hard to find. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878910 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:54:56 +0000 LindsayInNY 1878910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MK0180: Good to know since I thought I was nearing the contact RX limit! It's harder to find them if you have both bad vision and bad astigmatism (me!) than just one of the two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878772 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 11:28:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 1878772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-4.00 left eye, -2.75 right eye. I wanna get LASIK soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878734 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 11:01:46 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1878734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Left is -6 and right is -5.25. Has stablized in the last few years and I thought about LASIK but my husband told me he doesn't want a blind wife and mother to his kids. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878655 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 10:16:44 +0000 MrsADS 1878655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MK0180 Woo, sounds like your vision is like mine! I'm like -12 or -13 in my glasses, a little less in contacts. I wear my glasses a lot because I get allergic conjunctivitis - I literally have an allergic reaction to contacts in my eyeballs :sad: I still wear them but not as often as I'd like. </p> <p>I am also not a candidate for Lasik because of my vision but I'm very interested in the lens-replacement surgery. Or I would be except that it's like $20,000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878616 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 09:49:52 +0000 snowjewelz 1878616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bad, definitely beyond -7.5 for both eyes. I've had glasses since I was 7! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-vision#post-1878615 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 09:48:37 +0000 catlady 1878615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was -5.75 or something in both eyes for like 10 years, and then I had LO and it got even worse. I think they're both -6.25 now. I hope they don't get any worse! I'm not a viable candidate for Lasik either. :( </p>
