I love this WOE, but I don't know about this. I had been wearing glasses since I was a toddler, I basically don't remember when I didn't have them.

I was off the charts. I wasn't considered 20/anything, (I couldn't even see the big E on the chart without glasses). They used "fingers" to measure my vision. That is where they stand X amount of feet away and ask you how many fingers they are holding up, I was 2 fingers (not sure how far away that equates to).

In 99, I had Lasik and now my left eye is 20/40, and my right eye is 20/20, giving me 20/20 vision. I never need anything to help me see - and this is a wonderful thing
