Isn't prescription going down the same thing as vision improving?

Isn't prescription going down the same thing as vision improving?
- LorenPechtel 2y agoNo, there are two separate things: 1) Your prescription. 2) What your vision is like with the best correction.
- Thorrez 2y agoThen I'm guessing calebm misremembered what the optometrist said. Probably the optometrist said "your prescription improved" or "your prescription decreased".
- LorenPechtel 2y ago"Vision improved" is a possible result of treatment. My wife has had cataract surgery--her vision in that eye certainly improved! It also is possible to have your vision improve without treatment. I have some astigmatism, it's simply impossible to fully correct. My prescription changes a lot, it's possible for the astigmatism to be a bit less of an issue on a particular exam to the point that the best line I can read sometimes changes.
