I'm not, because I'm not a faggot.
I don't even know my eye degrees lol.
Post cools frames from Aliexpress.
-12 diopters on both eyes. IIRC I gained like a -1 diopter a year starting from when I was 7. Then it almost stopped at 18.
-0.25
the damage is limited
It went downhill when I started reading stuff on my phone in bed in the dark at 30cm distance (back in the day phones were <4")
20/20 vision staring at televisions and then monitors all my life all day, at age 29
I used low brightness to help reduce heat and power use. It's apparently good for your eyes too, don't be so spoiled and turn down your light.

If you have simple vision needs you can save a lot of money ordering online. If you have a high correction prescription that has to be cut at a lab with a good base shape. Progressive lenses also require specific measurements beyond pupilary distance, and need to be fit very precisely. Ordering a high correction progressive lens prescription online is therefore pants on head retarded.
My eye doctor told me that staring at the tv screen causes no damage, you are just tiring your eyes is all.
>>51440702
>-27
Holy fuck.
>>51440399
-3.5 left.
-4.75 and astigmatism in the right. I struggle to read from a blackboard in the front row of a lecture hall without my glasses.
>>51440399
-3.5 in both eyes, but not from a monitor. Back when It happened I touched a computer 1 time a week.
>>51440744
I was born with it.
The left eye has had so many problems, but thankfully the right eye is stable, just extremely myopic.
>>51440645
Am widesighted, 3 diopters on both eyes since im 3. But i think i will do a laser correction too sometimes
Remember, your eyes need as much moisture as you can give them, especially after drying them out staring at a screen!
>>51440736
There's been a study comparing kids and teenagers which spent most of their day outside in bright sunlight vs ones who spent most of their free time indoors. Indoor kids had significantly higher rates of myopia, and earlier onset.
It's not the habit of watching tv or sitting in front of a computer per se, it's the habit of not exposing your eyes to constantly changing depth scenarios (my guess to explain this).
>>51440819
That's also pretty great when the weed is too strong.

I'd assume its some sort of (radiation)light/vitamin deficiency. Just stay outside with enough lighting when browsing 4chan.

>>51440399
This has a lot to do with genetics. A friend of mine spent basically all his childhood and teen years in front of a computer/TV screen and he still has perfect sight, while I have 4.5-5 diopters in each eye. My mom has something like 7 and I have an aunt who has 14 in each eye
Also I remember reading that it also has a lot to do with your eyes degrading if they don't get enough natural light. So if you stay inside all day your eyes fuck up.

stop wearing them for a few weeks so you can stop getting keked, literally no disadvantages to that

Compared to others in this thread I know it's not that bad, but I can't see anything past like 30 cms whenever my glasses are off
The worst part is, every couple of years it gets just a little worse, and I'm scared it won't ever stop. I started from -0.25 and in 10 years it went up to 2.25
-2.5/-2.0
I wear glasses over contacts because I like the nerd look, and so does the gf.
>>51441645
>I'm scared it won't ever stop
It doesn't. As you get older your eyesight will inevitably get worse.
I'll just wait until bioimplants start to come out, people test them and things go horribly wrong, and wait 20 more years to finally get a version II of the product.
>>51441616
OP here. Eyes are still changing. Even if so, I might not be a candidate once they do stabilize.
>>51440399
I always thought that screens couldn't do anything besides eye strain? I've been starting at screens for a long time now and I still have 20/20 vision with absolutely zero need for glasses.
>>51440399

>>51441766
It's not specifically screens, but there is reason to believe that lack of exposure to sunlight as a child results in myopia. So staying inside all day leads to the same thing.
-2.00 both eyes
Is it bad if I just use contacts or occasionally nothing?
>>51441616
> +2.00, +1.75
>groups with me with the ultra blind
I've been staring at books and monitors in dank basements, etc. for like 20 years.
I think I might be slightly nearsighted as very close things look just a bit sharper than the distance alone can explain, but I've never bothered getting this tested as I can still read signs and stuff at long distances if I try a bit.
Maybe aging will make it progress in the other direction.
>>51441562
Depends, at -.75 its not so bad that my peripheral is wrecked anyways.
>>51441562
Contact lenses are better because you have a higher chance for an infection which can cause the loss of your eyesight also your eyes will feel constantly dry when sitting before the monitor.
I couldn't wear the contacts at night when sitting before the monitor. My vision blurred every 30 sec because my eyes got dry...
Also -3,75 on both eyes. 22 years old. When will my eyesight stop dropping?
>>51442759
>you have a higher chance for an infection
Well sure, but that only matters if you leave your lenses lying around in gross places.
>your eyes will feel constantly dry when sitting before the monitor
Not really, just drink a lot of water.
>>51441028
the trick is to do it in front of the mirror, pull your lower eyelid down and put the drop in at close range, you don't feel a thing
Like -8.75 in the left and -9.50 in the right. I also get really bad glare, ghosting, and halos/rays of light. Eyes are too dry for contacts, and apparently lasik will make the ghosting and glare a lot worse.
I really shouldn't be driving at night, because I'm basically blind from the extreme amount of glare/rays/halos around lights.
>>51444450
I don't think carlights are bright enough to cause permanent damage to sight unless you stare at them from really close range.
If you need eye correction, please, kill yourself.
You don't belong in the gene pool with your inferior eyes, faggots.
Commit sedoku you literal autists.

People who need eye correction tend to be more intelligent than those who do not.
>>51444596
I work at an optical store and there's a good flier they have that explains the negatives of websites for glasses. Most of it is based on people inputting bad measurements or not getting the actual materials / coatings they are paying for. Your mileage may vary, and I'm with the anon in this thread that said don't get progressives online, that shit is inconsistent even if you get it done in store. Online is drastically worse. Same with high myopia or hyperopia.
Tldr; you get what you pay for.
>>51444621
yeah, was gonna say. that guy's just some dumb cambodian probably
>>51440399
Perfect vision
Better than 20/20, according to the optometrist.
Does staring at screens actually fuck your eyes up? Why haven't mine been fucked up then? I've been staring at screens for 20 years
>>51444658
>I work at an optical store
I figured as much, since what you wrote sounds exactly like what every optician says about online glasses buying.
>Most of it is based on people inputting bad measurements
That can happen anywhere, and from my experience and others I know (who get glasses from optometrists or ophthalmologists) there are no special measurements taken that don't go on the prescription, apart from the occasional omission of the PD. Since everything is on the prescription, there is no difference between ordering online and brick and mortar, assuming the order is correct. There is no "special fitting" in these cases.
>not getting the actual materials / coatings they are paying for
Again, that isn't something that can only happen online. I at least have more options in regards to coatings and materials when I order online.
21 here.
It was just recently I started getting eye strains from squinting at the backboard. I spent probably 80% of my childhood inside on a computer. I just realized my last eye exam was for my physical for trying out for middle school cross country, which was about 10-11 years.
I think I might have myopia, but I'm unsure. Seeing an eyr specialist on Monday.
>>51445093
You probably do have myopia, and you'll probably be shocked at how "HD" the world is going to look. I think I've had poor eyesight pretty much all of my life and putting glasses on for the first time in middle school was pretty mindblowing.

>>51440399
-6,50 in one eye, -6,75 in other
Surprisingly it started manifesting before I started using technology though. I guess it's due to my family passing it all down on me. It's come all the way from ny grandparents on both mother's and father's sides...
Sigh.
Does it really affect your vision? My doc says no unless I'm in inadequate lighting surrounding (for example staring at a bright screen in a dark room) but I 'unno.
>>51440399
>How blind is /g/ from staring at a monitor all day?
Staring at a monitor doesn't make you blind, you stupid fuck.
You have slightly bad eyes, so you take some "rest/monitor/work glasses", then your eyes get used to them, and now you can't live without it.
You literaly got tricked by the merchants.
I have a great vision and I stare at screens 24/7.
You're just stupid.
>>51441616
Lasik works for 1-1.5 years, afterwards the shitty eyesight comes back.
Should my polarized prescription glasses have an effect on the way I see my monitor? I ask because it doesn't do the same as a filter I took off of a cheap Chinese monitor.
>Oakley Bucket frames
>I don't remember the price
>Hyperopia and astigmatism

wish i needed to use glasses though, don't know why
>>51446010
Same, I think glasses can make you look intelligent, as well as being fashionable.
Oh well, I guess perfect vision is our burden to bear.
I shit you not I was 20/10 when I got tested at 12 years old. My dad has 20/15 and his dad had the same as me. It went to shit after high school started though, I currently have -3.00 for both. Wish I could get it back
-2.75 / -2.25, contact lenses
Might try putting the 2.75 in my right eye, since my left eye seems to have better distance viewing.
I'm hoping my vision will stabilise for some time so I can consider stuff like LASIK.
I don't know the actual numbers, but my eyes are moderately shit in terms of long distance. I've actually discovered recently that migraine headaches with visual aura distortions are hereditary to my family, and turns out that for me I get them when I spend hours in low light looking at a monitor or handheld or something.
Funny because I've been staring at monitors all my life and it only manifests now. I don't think the degradation has anything to do with the monitors themselves, just my heredity. I should really get all this examined by a doctor.
>>51445670
Surely you meant to say 10-15 years
Which is honestly more proof that the condition is antagonized by behavior.
>>51441640
Contacts cost like 100 bucks nigga
-7.something and -6.something constantly getting worse every year
>>51440825
>>51440936
Actually you're almost right. The study you are talking about proved that intense warm LIGHT is the factor.
Indoors, computer screens and TV's produce blue light and very low intensities of light in general compared to the sand/grass/sky reflecting the sun into your eyes outside.
Basically, you could get away with having a really really well lit room.

The trick is mostly distance from the screen and a bit of eye training.

I had 20/10 vision when I was 17.
10 years later I'm at 20/20
Never had headaches or blurred vision after long bouts (8 hours) of screen time.
-5 on both...
Contacts are alright though. Cheaper for sure
>>51449051
okay.
whoever makes my glasses always put a plus before the number.
and i have been confused my whole life.
.
>>51449072
So your vision got better after long screen exposure?
Yeah right...
>>51449108
20/10 is "better" than 20/20
It means you can see what normal people see at 10 feet, at 20 feet.
Imagine reading an eye chart at 10 feet.
Double the distance.
Can you still read it?
I also have pretty good low light vision, which I first realised when I was about 6. I walked into our darkened aitting room to get a drink, and could still see the glow given off by our old TV screen after it was turned off. (Strangely this works better for me if I look at things off center)
My glass-maker told me that lasik won't be successful on my eyes because i have a cylindrical number.
Is it the case with anyone else here?
i bought my glasses when i visited a 3rd world country.
>mfw they dont fully correct it
>>51448937
Just a meme. What happens is that you will kill your eyesight if you spend most of your waking time indoors, especially during your childhood when your eyes are developing.
Go outside as much as possible and you will minimize your chances of damaging your eyesight.

Laser surgeries, pros and cons?
is it true that you can't re-do another surgery if your eyes get fucked up again?
I had hypermetropia and astigmatism when I was 7, the hypermetropia got better and by the time i was 15 I had 0 diopters in both eyes.
Now I'm 23 and I have miopia 0.75 in one eye and 1.25 in the other eye.
Well it's been a long time since I got these glasses (5 years) so maybe my eyesight got a little worse. But I only use them to watch TV, for class and similar activities.

If you're pricing progressive lenses on line bear in mind
1) Zenni et al use very cheap progressive lenses that have a large area of no sight. The area represented in gray/blue/orange is the area of a progressive lens that is blurry. Varilux commands a price premium by virtue of it being objectively better.
2) Progressive lenses require measurement of the segment height, which is height (in millimeters) from the lowest point of the lens to the center of your pupil. Zenni and most online shops do not ask for this. They essentially make an average "guess" of what the average person would have and if you fit that, good, if not, too bad, you get fucked up glasses.
3) Zenni's quality control is piss poor. Even with my local optician, he sometimes fails the lenses the lab sends to him (when your prescription strength exceeds -6 diopters, opticians will not cut the lens locally; instead, your prescription is sent to the lab, the lab cuts them and sends them to him, and he verifies the order was properly done).
4) If you have progressive lenses and the temples or nosepieces move at all, then things get blurry if you have a high correction prescription. If you have an optician, he can adjust the temple/nosepices based off the appropriate SH measurement. If you order online, you have to try to correct this yourself when it can and does happen.
In short: If you have a single vision lens and you are +2/-2 or less, then you can get a bunch of frames from zenni and save loads. However, if you have a high degree of correction with progressive lenses, it doesn't make sense to order online.
>>51449363
I've heard if your astigmatism is too high you're unlikely to be a candidate for LASIK. I just don't know what the threshold is.
At this point with -2.00 in one eye, my doctor says the main reason I shouldn't get LASIK is not because I can't, but merely because my prescription is still changing on a yearly basis and if I got it now I'd just be wearing glasses in a year.

Roughly -3.5 on both eyes. 'Poor' eyesight is genetic. Apart from physical or chemical trauma (or staring at the sun really long) there is no way for you to fuck up your eyes. Reading in the dark doesn't worsen your eyesight either, it's just tiring. Being nearsighted makes you slightly better at reading, which is why it was probably not selected against in urbanized societies, where there is hardly any reason to need to be able to see things more than a couple of meters away sharply anyway.
Short sighted since 6 and adding 1 index per year? In my country, they use a different scale. So now i assume im - 8. Can someone explain?
-5 in the left eye, -7 in the right eye. Always read a lot, even in the dark, always watched TV from really close up, always played a lot of computer games through the day, gone outside very rarely (the last one being the only one I didn't get chided for all the time).
My parents gripe at me constantly to do eye exercise too (looking near-looking far every half an hour after staring at the screen and holding palms near your eyes and stuff), but I don't because I really doubt it works, and also because it sounds like really way too often to work comfortably with. I assume it's all hogwash, or does it have some merit after all?
Also, what about this laser therapy, or whatever? Does it work? I was planning to do this when my eyes stop changing, but some people in this thread said it's not ideal?

are you stupid? Dioptres are the same all around the world. If you have -8 in USA you will have -8 in Europe. The rest is Mordor so I don't know.

In where i live. My number is 800 i have no idea how to translate that, so i assume it to be -8.
When i take off my glasses, everything out of the 10cm are blurred
You guys are all retarded. Short/long sightedness is genetic. It's caused by your eye either growing too long, or too short, to put it simply, so that the lens focuses light either in front of or behnd where it's meant to focus. It's not caused by staring at a screen in the dark or any of that bullshit. The worst that can happen because of that is temporary strain on the eyes. Nothing more. This is high school level shit..

I look better in glasses anyway
Might a well ask here, glasses new fag btw. Question, are glasses suppose to make you lose your vision in the corner of your eye(s) after taking them off from coming out doors to going inside? I've never worn or needed glasses until this year(I'm 26 btw).
>>51456768
That sounds unusual and you should probably ask an optician/optometrist/ophthalmologist.
>>51440399
20/20 vision. You guys have lost the gene lottery. Make sure you don't reproduce.

vision deficiencies are correctable
unfortunately for you, autism isn't
I been on the PC for many hours a day for the past decade or so.
Got something like -1 for both eyes, but it's possible it's from other factors, such as genetic (mother's side has most folks with glasses) or retarded hair in teenage years (shit was all over my eyes)
Damaged enough to make not wearing glasses annoying
Not damaged enough to warrant a surgery
>25
>been staring at a screen for an average 5 hours a day since 10 y/o
>eyes finally going to shit, cant read road signs while driving, rely on gps/memory to tell me what road is up ahead
>cant make out coworkers more than 20 ish feet away
Its only a matter of time now, id say early maybe mid 30's ill actually need a pair, possibly later than that if im lucky
>-4.50 and -3.75
This was inherited from mom, started needing glasses from the same age and have about the same eyesight. Wear contacts to correct this since I've grown to hate eyeglasses. I do intend on getting Lasik.
>Diagnosed with glaucoma as a teenager
This was inherited from dad who also had it as a teenager. Eyedrops fix this.
There's no reason to believe that either problem came from staring at a monitor. I feel like one could just as easily bullshit that this would've been more of a problem with flickering CRTs than LCD panels.

Wait a minute
There are computer glasses?
How come no one told me? i'm 25 and my vision is fucked up
>>51440399
I have those exact same glasses.

>you should probably ask an optician/optometrist/ophthalmologist.
I don't know. Is it normal for optometrist durring a eye normal eye exam, to flash light in each eye 4+ times before making you read the chart. I'm no doctor but this never sat right with me. I know my vision isn't 20/20 but I've never had a problem seeing until these assholes proscribed me 400$ glasses. Taking those things off really messes with my vision.
>>51440399
I feel ya anon
-12/-12.5 Here, astigmatism, bifocals
cant make out anything without glasses. crashed my car once when they fell off
>>51458481
Yeah. It's a weaker nearsighted prescription (or if you have very minor nearsightedness, essentially a small step in the positive/farsightedness direction) that's optimized for viewing within 3-15 feet.
It's amazing to work on the PC with them.
-1.25 / -1.5, contacts for work or going out, no correction otherwise. Got glasses for the "I'd like to see this perfectly but can't be bothered with contacts" moments. Takled with optometrist friend about maybe getting lasered, she called me dumb and told me not to risk fuckups with so small problems that are very likely to go away with age.
That "I NEED MUH GLASSES" anon with -0.25 made me chuckle.
