Re: ask me about eyes
[ QUOTE ]
I am a -11 how much worse can it get before I actually go blind?
Will laser surgery help me or is it too risky?
Is there anything I can do to improve my night vision? I haven't been able to see in the dark my entire life.
Thanks

-11.00 is considered severe. You would probably not be a candidate for lasik although it is possible. As long as you can see with your glasses or contacts, you are never considered blind no matter what your prescription is. In reality, there is no difference between being -6.00 or -15.00. Neither person can function without their glasses. The only difference is the -15 has to hold a book 3 inches from his nose to read and the -6.00 has to hold it at maybe 6-7 inches...beyond that, there's no difference so dont worry too much if it gets a little worse.
If you are not a candidate for lasik,you can consider implantible contact lenses.
