I'm -7.5 in both eyes and this is exactly what I see too without my glasses. I also suffer with really bad eye floaters, which is probably a result of my myopia. People with normal vision have no idea how lucky they are. It's frustrating to see them take it for granted.

As in, unlike the video, I could still walk down the stairs fairly quickly if I hold onto the handle. And don’t bump into things as you can still see it’s shape. Also, I can actually read on my phone, but ONLY at exact 3 inches from my face. Any further, it gets blurry and any closer, it gets too uncomfortable. Also I have to keep one eye closed as it’s too close and don’t want to read crosseyed.

I am SHOCKED and so happy! I have almost exactly the same eye glass prescription as you! I have always wanted to show people how difficult it is for me to see. I can't wait to share this video! I'm actually just a tiny bit worse in one eye than you are. Firstly, I can't seem to get my eyes to stabilize, they continue to worsen since I was in my fourth year at school. My doctor put me in gas permeable (hard) contact lenses to trap my eye shape in the hopes it will stop changing, because otherwise they felt I would be completely blind before I turned 25, and it did slow the progression. I am not eligible for any type of corrective surgery. In the United States, vision care is NOT covered by insurance either, so I cannot easily afford much to help. I am incredibly interested in EVERYTHING you know about our common (rare) trait! Thank you so much!!! ~Danielle

I have Myopia level -9 in one eye and -7 in the other eye. I also suffer from double vision, light sensitivity and visual disturbances. Sometimes it's HELL cause it makes me dizzy. But I can see things pretty clear without glasses if the object is very close to my face lol. Sadly doctors can't do eye surgery on me either. All they can do is tighten my muscle in one eye to help me get rid of the double vision. But that surgery is very brutal...

I pretty much had the same prescription and issues like you (plus Nystagmas!). Did ICL 2.5 years ago and it is a game changer. Judging by the comments below I think you have had that now as well. For me it didn't completely fix my sight (i.e. still not 20/20 but it was never going to be able to correct it to that degree), but I don't have to wear glasses for distance. I hope it is working out well for you! One other comment, it's really good that you did this video, but maybe it is me, but for near objects and going down stairs etc it wasn't that bad for me, certainly that bad for distance, and reading was very similar for me as well.

-11.75 in glasses, -10.5 in contacts. I feel like my vision is slightly grainier/fuzzier, rather than perfectly smooth, if that makes sense. But I also have astigmatism, so that might cause a slight slanty blur as well. Thank you so much for this demonstration!!

Oof I feel your pain. My left eye diopter level is is -7 and my right is -5. Everyday things people do are such a chore without glasses. Taking a shower is literally survival of the fittest especially when the soap bar (if its past the halfway mark) falls down. Some people are blessed to have really good vision.

Thanks for this. Been looking for a vido that demonstrates this, and this comes closest. Still not exactly the same as you'd be aware, but a pretty close approximation. I'm -16.5/-15.25 + Astigmatism here - so a bit worse. But close enough :)

I hope we can bring an end to this problem, by exhaustive science analysis, and effective prevention. This is indeed the Second Opinion, when you can still read the 20/50 line.

I wish you all the best man, I am moderate myopic (-5) and I struggle a lot too

-10/-10.5 myself. Definitely gonna show this to people so they have an idea of what I see. Thanks for the video!

My eyesight is also very close to those figures, though I don't know the exact details. I found that my vision has one small advantage, my vision at 8 cm is pretty awesome, and lets me have a macro-lenslike experience for free, it's great for viewing really small detail for the small insignificant penalty of not being able to see anything else clearly past about 9 cm. Thank goodness for my glasses.

I am also hyper myopic. Had glasses since 5 and very thick ones since about 11. Like you I see blurs more than a foot across but still can distinguish larger objects and can still get around without glasses. It was somewhat worse from about 19 to 35. Now my lenses are getting slightly weaker every couple years but now I need bifocals where the bottom of the lens is weaker for reading. Anyhow do not mind glasses.. But you seem even worse.

-8.00 in one eye & -7.5 in the other😢 Astigmatism, rapid floaters, blackouts, light sensitivity, fear of waking up & being completely blind, fear of getting surgery & them making it worse, low confidence at times, Extreme separation anxiety from my glasses, not knowing what the future holds as far as my vision, not knowing if technology will ever advance, im miserable 😖

We have the same prescription. Lol Thank you for this video. I can finally show people.

I'm 17

Im 14 and i was born with -7 in my right eye , now i have -12 in my right and -6 in my left , it really gives me depression and anxiety i dont know kf its gonna get worse

Hi oh you're so adorable. I have this too. It's not easy. Thanks for the video.

this is crazy for me to see i never understood short sighted really ,im the opposite im farsighted and how you see the tv is worse but similar to how i see a phone or a newspaper up close ,yet anything intermediate to far is crystal clear ...till my eyesight got worse i never realised how musch stuff i do that needs glasses as we can correct far sightedness ourselves for a while ,extreme myopia is a different level of problem

Dude my vision is Left -4.50 Right -5.25 and my vision is very similar to what you see just alittle less dramatic but I still can't drive or anything without my eyes in it sucks.. Like lets all take a moment to appreciate the fact that corrective vision exist because a good majority of us would have a 💩 quality of life barely being able to see the world in front of us. Thank Goodness for Glasses and Contacts!!! 😃 I wear contacts 97% of the time because I can't even do my hair with my glasses on and I can't see my hair with my glasses off so for me contacts are the way to go, but I think once your prescription gets to a certain strength you have to get glasses because I think contacts have a limit on how strong they come..

I started with -0.5 at 10 yo. At 18 yo I stabilized with -6. My doc then, told me when I will get older, my myopia will slightly reverse. He was right. At 35 yo -5. Now at 40 yo, I have -4.5. I know it's not much, but from an aesthetic point of view, it's nice to look in the mirror and have slightly bigger eyes throught the spectacles.

This is a really good example of what the world looks like for us nearsighted people. I got -6.25 on both eyes, and this seems like a reasonable way of showing it.

I used to be -7.5 with cataracts went completely blind in one eye. thank God for the lions club for helping me with my eyes! Forever grateful !

Great content Kev!👌👏 How do you capture your exact blurriness so we thru the 📷 lens you use to make this vid?? Truly marvelous. Bravo! 💞

Hey there! I adjusted the Gaussian blur in post editing to match what I normally see without glasses!

I believe my high minus is due to genetics. Literally from my grandpa on down we all wear glasses. I hate when I have my glasses on and like if they are in front of me I see them looking at the corners of my glasses. It's hard to explain but I know they are not looking me directly in my eyes. Subconsciously, I hope when they are looking at me my eyes don't look cocked or anything lol. But seriously I hate going to the eye doctor for my annuals. Everytime I get new glasses people be like "Can I see" like to see if it's really prescription or to see "how blind I am". I hate that when I have my glasses on my head looks smaller though the glasses and I hate that people actually say that. It's rude. They are on the outside looking in but nobody but people like us understanding. Thanks for making this video, I always feel so bad about my vision that seeing this video and reading these comment really help me feel like I'm not alone out here💜

@@meowzki2224 Lol yeah I'm only 29 now but by the time I hit 50 I'm gonna need goggles to see because my prescription will be too strong for contacts one day if it keeps going at this rate..😶 Honestly I see why you have to get exam every 2 years because just about ALL of us change prescriptions through out our lives as we age which is inevitable.. I think even normal vision people at some point later in life eventually need glasses especially for reading its part of the human aging process of the eyes. I don't mind getting old I have no choice but I still want my vision when I'm getting my senior discounts holding up the lines in the store for my 10cents off coupon... 👀😬😂😂

AsianOtaku Lasik wouldnt help much if your Prescription is below -15.0. In my country opthalmologist only accepts patient with severe myopia like -20.0 grade and above

Wow, that's severe myopia. You have to be very careful and you are at a much higher risk of suffering a detached retina in the future. And if it's a bad detachment, you may be forced to lock your head at a certain angle for weeks for it to mend.

I have -4.25 both eyes, this is an extreme version of my experience with myopia, i can still read my phone if it's close enough, and i can distinguish shapes more clearly, but life without glasses is still hell for me.

Hi, do they ever stabilise? I'm a high myopic myself at -10 in one eye and -8.50 the other. I'm now 26, I'm thinking of going for ICL or RLE surgery. Do you think my vision can worsen after either surgery?. Thanks

Hey there! My eyesight has been stabilising since I wore RGP contact lenses at 16. So far no dramatic increases. I think getting those surgeries might be ok when you're young, but you might get long sightedness as you grow older. Do check with an ophthalmologist to find out more!

@@KevsWorld Thanks for the response. I'd been wearing soft contact lenses for more than a decade and stopped recently due to irregular astigmatism, the Dr suggested that I went for RLE or ICL. As a high myopic yourself, do you think going for RLE a good idea for someone as young as me?. RLE is basically a cataract surgery.

@KevsWorld

I think ICL may be good since it can help with high myopia...but from what the doctor told me, the eye myopia may come back for me in the long run plus the cost is much much higher than LASIK. I recommend you get a second opinion to see which suits you the best!

Hey Nikirta, the most important thing is to make sure that your vision has stabilized prior to getting the procedure. I would suggest waiting a year to determine this factor. Ask your doctor those kinds of questions, I’m sure they would be more than happy to assist you. Good luck and I hope it all works well for you!
