Bah, my eye Rx is -8.5 diopters. Taking off my glasses/contacts doesn't "soften" the external world - it makes me unable to function. If I forget where I put my glasses after taking out my contacts at night before going to bed, I have to call my wife to find them for me. If I try moving around too much, I'm liable to hurt myself.
I'll probably want to get LASIK at some point :)
- gm-conspiracy 8y agoI am -7.5 and agree w/ GP, especially for identifying SMD components and other details. But, yes, sometimes I need help finding my glasses, too.
- reitanqild 8y agoBoth eyes worse than -6. I use special always-on contacts since 5 years ago or so, change them once a month. This reduces the hassle a lot.
- aschneid 8y agoI was at that point when I had it done. The only problem with having that bad of an eyesight, they have to use the laser for longer. It helped I had extra thick corneas, but the surgeon I went to said some folks can't have the surgery with eyes that bad. Of course, that was 15 years ago, so maybe different guidelines now.
