Will I get blind when I grow up? (piefed.world)

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I(M26) currently had been prescribed a new eye glasses to replace my current one with the following:

Right Eye:

Sphere=+3.5
Cylinder=-2.25

Left Eye:

Sphere=+4.25
Cylinder=-3.25

My life feels like hell, no glasses seem to give me a perfect vision and the whole thing is making me lose my mind. As it seems hopeless.

Is there is a solution or will my vision keep getting worse till I go blind?

I don't think there's a guarantee you'll be blind. It looks like you have a pretty decent astigmatism in both eyes and are reasonably farsighted. Those values are however quite small relative to some of the folks (especially the elderly) I've passed in and out of the optometrist.

As for no glasses giving you perfect vision, it's hard to say without being an optometrist myself. I'd try hopping around to different optometrists to get different fittings and opinions. It is a bit of a gamble especially when eyes can change year to year.

Make sure to wear sunglasses when it's sunny and limit excessive screen time and hopefully that should limit the negative changes to your eyesight.
