I don't know the numbers for my glasses... but I do know I'm virtually blind. :biggrin:

30cm is my maximum range, and then only if I squint. Beyond that everything is blurry...

About -4. There's a girl I know at uni who is -13, and one of her retinas detached last term! But I'm nowhere near that shortsighted.

how do you find out? my optician never tells me! :-s I'm really bad at remembering to wear my glasses, I wasnt diagnosed for years and years so I got used to the world as I see it :-) I think a soft focus is pretty :-p

I'm 0.25 something. :p:

Basically there's no point in me having glasses but writing gets blurry if its more than a few metres away.

My boyfriend is -9 I think...practically blind! :eek:
