Eyesight Improvement Forum

You can use reduced prescription lenses and still improve your eyesight. Use them only when you need them, like driving or when you need to read something off the board in school. I improved mine.

Im going to get reduced prescription glasses for around $15. I will just reduce the prescription diopter by 1. Is that ok. Should I remove the axis and/or cylindrical settings?

I have 3.75 diopters in both eyes, .25 clyndrical in both eyes, but 98 axis in left eye and 118 in right eye. I'm going to get glasses with diopters of 2.75. Is that ok?

jeez man some equation you got there for converting diopters to snellen. I can see 20/80. My cousin can see 20/40 or 20/50 with 1.75 diopters

i can't see 20/40 through -1.75 lenses. Dave once said that someone with 1.5 diopters can read 20/40 but someone else with 1.5 can read 20/80

What is the axis for? I know it has something to do with astigmatism. will it make a difference if i ignore the 116 and 98 degrees axis in my eye if I'm to get reduced prescription?

otis Wrote:Yes, because if you remove the 1/4 diopter of astigmatism, you have no "angle" to go with it. that answers my question. thx otis

i can see letters in the dark last time i checked but i've only done it once, because reading in the dark strains your eyes.

Staring is hard for me now. I tried staring on a small dot but my eyes keep shifting by themselves.
