But are you legally blind WITHOUT your glasses? I know this is sort of a contradiction.

Correct. Extremely blind.

I didn't know, so I researched it:

A person is considered legally blind when the best corrected visual acuity is 20/200.

So no.

my eyes are -6.0 and -6.5. optometrist told me he could only measure my 20/20 type vision up to 20/200 and i was off the chart for that.

-3.25 left eye, -2.75 right eye. I've been told that my vision is 20/200 uncorrected, but then shouldn't it be more negative diopters? Is -3.25, -2.75 bad? I'm 21 if it matters. i can't read from more than a foot away without my glasses/contacts

mine are -3.75. I asked the dr what that translated to the last time. I think she said 20/300, but I can't remember for sure.

-7 in my right eye, -7.25 in my left. I also have significant astigmatism and some need for prism correction. I am strongly considering LASIK, but don't know if I'm a good candidate.

20/15 three years ago when I had my last eye exam.

It's funny because both my parents and both my brothers wear glasses or contacts.

It was 20/20 4 years ago, but I just noticed a couple weeks ago it is less sharp in one eye. Between that and the bald spot, I'm not too happy about this aging thing.
