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?

    That’s not as profoundly bad as I was, nor my nearsighted child, and I had a work colleague with -12 who got her vision corrected with Lasik.

    I had the Lasik in my 20s for a -6 prescription and got, not perfect, but good enough vision to only need thin, light glasses.

    When I was profoundly nearsighted I got really good correction with contacts, hard contacts gave me supernaturally good vision, but glasses never did. Even now I can’t get perfect vision with glasses, it’s just good enough.

    You are farsighted? Two older ladies at my work had to get cataract surgery and in the process, their vision was corrected. Do get a second opinion, but it is true that you may not be able to see perfectly through glasses, I never could. Well enough to work, to read, and to not get headaches from squinting all the time, though, I don’t feel disabled by my sight.
