I had yet another appointment to see the eye doctor today. Still no new contacts. He assured me that my right eye was fine and that I could continue wearing a lens in it, even though it was causing me some pain.
In all the time I had trouble with my eyes, I’ve never asked what my vision is in the 20/xx style. I knew the power in diopters of my lenses, but not the more traditional rating. I asked abou this today. My left eye, the better one, has a vision greater than 20/2000. Yes, twenty – slash – two thousand. The doctor says it’s actually worse than that, but that is high as the quick measurement with a chart in an office goes. My right eye is worse than that.
Lovely…

I can donate a dog, if that would help. You might need to find your own cane, though, brother Magoo…
What does that come out to on the other scale. Last I checked, my eyes were worse than -6.5 in each eye. I’ve also never asked what that translates too.
On a similar note, friends of mine have been pushing laser surgery. Thoughts?
Wow! Mine is 20/-7.50. I have never heard of 20/2000!
I think the power of correction in my right eye is -9.5.
20/20 is normal vision. Most people have no more than 20/100 vision.
