To destroy people's vision with minus lenses?

Great video! I had my last eye test a month ago, and here they don't tell us if we have 20/20 vision, but instead the strength of our lens required to improve our vision. So you might have -6.0 in one eye that became -6.25 at your next checkup. Not sure if you've already done a video on discussing what that number means, but otherwise would love to see it!

This video was so well-made and easy to watch. I’ve had a hard time understanding vision metrics until now. Great work!

I had a TBI February 2020 and my eyes got tested yesterday and I got 20/15 in my left eye and 20/60 in my right eye. My depth perception is terrible. Getting glasses on the 20th. Love your videos and information you provide, thank you!

My corrected vision is at least 20/10, probably a little bit better because the very bottom line is perfectly clear with glasses. People with "perfect" vision are often surprised when I can read things they can't see.

@lolerie

2 жыл бұрын

That is because they do not have perfect vision. Most refractometers only have 0.25 resolution, so anything below 0.25 is not visable. For example I have -4.12 sphere and -4.87 cylender om my right eye which is further rounded on those meters. Also glasses cannot be done with this in mind. There is also keratometers that allow to see the astigmatism components.

As a kid (I am 28 now), my vision was 20/10 left and 20/15 right. Since my last couple months in the military my vision degraded and I finally got seen for it about 18 months ago. I found out I have keratoconus, and now my vision is 20/200 in both eyes, over the course of about the last 4 years. I am "20/40" in both eyes but that doesnt account for the fact my eyes were dilated during the test and I still have the starburst effect. I just got fitted with scleral lenses on wednesday and I am so excited. They got me to 20/20 on the first iteration and didnt expect to ever get me to 20/20. Thanks for your videos

Thanks. I always found this measurement confusing. And then when you get contacts, you get a power of -2.0!!! Maybe you could do a video that relates 20/20 measurement to the power of the contacts (and I think glasses).

I have 20/20 vision check. A month now but still get dizziness sometimes.

Doctor Eye, I want to ask you something that's been puzzling me on this test. I noticed that this type of test is done in a dark room with a lit screen. But on a dark room the iris of the eye is opening, letting more light in. One's cornea may not be constant in shape and it can distort if the iris is more open, because light is entering the eye on a much wider area through cornea. But if there is a lot of light (like in a sunny day), light enters through a narrower hole in the eye and maybe it doesn't affect the part of the cornea where you may have problems. So, why is the tests concluded in the dark? Will glasses work the same in the dark and in the light?

I went to the eye Dr This past weekend and I just found out that I have double astigmatism. I’ve had it in my left eye since I was 12. I didn’t even know that you could develop an astigmatism in both eyes.

because I've always had bad vision, in elementary school (in my school district that's kindergarten through 4th grade, I know it varies greatly between states, countries, etcetera )during 1st and 2nd grade I got put into the special education for reading class. I could read and comprehend everything, but where my vision wasn't the best I had trouble reading so they thought i had an IEP until the teacher that was over it suggested I get my vision tested. lo and behold after i got glasses in didn't have reading issues anymore.

Can you talk about different kinds of amblyopia and potential ways of treating it, and potentials for treating it in adults? (I'm doing some experiments myself)

Great question Michael. We do aim to get at least 20/20. IF a person cannot read 20/20 with optical correction alone, we search for a medical reason why (cataracts, retinal disease, corneal disease, neurological problems etc). During the refraction process, it is best to not "overprescribe" so it is generally accepted to give the least amount of minus power needed to read the 20/20 line. However, that is a bit of an oversimplification. There are several endpoints to be considered with a final prescription.

Yes, the glasses allowed me to see all the pages. Very interesting. 47 today, color deficiency found in kindergarten.

In college 40 years ago, I had prescription of -1.00 OD and -1.25 OS. Last month and also two years ago, I was tested to be 0 OD and -0.25 OS. Of course, I have presbyopia at my age.

I'm farsighted and have amblyopia. I can see 20/15 with my right, and 20/25 with my left eye. Same with or without glasses or contacts. My powers are +3,25D for my right eye, and about +3,5-3,75D for the left. Love watching your videos.

I worked with a guy who could read the street names from Google maps on a PC monitor from about 11 feet away. Here I am, no more than 11 inches away and I have trouble. My doctors use a projector for the eye chart. It makes it hard for me to see due to distorted vision from a creased retina, and shimmering spots probably from a laser procedure that was performed to close up bleeding blood vessels. I also have light sensitivity and the bright background washes out the letters. It's like when you watch a video of a car coming out of a tunnel. When they just exit the tunnel, the image goes almost all white until the camera corrects the exposure. I told them this and asked if they have an "old school" chart. They said they don't use those anymore. No wonder they can't narrow down a decent prescription for my glasses.

I had a medication for a viral. Now i am have near sighf blurred vision. My eyes cant focus on thing that close to me

That's a great explanation. Thank you! I have a question: What's the angle of vision for a normal person and does this angle change by different people or is it more or less the same for all people? I assume this angle if fixed for a given eye and does not change, right?

I can see 20/40. I recently went to a physical exam and was asked to read the 20/20 line. I told them that I felt better reading 20/40 line. Ever since I had an episode of high blood pressure, my vision has changed dramatically.

The legal standard DMV is 20/70, and 20/40. Always personally exceed them at home on your Snellen. Please. The normal eye moves negative, when you place a minus lens on it. (Pure Science). Great care must be used before a minus lens is used on a child. Prevention is possible in that range.

20/20 means you can see stuff from 20 feet in front of you that’s is less then 20 feet tall also means that anything bigger then the shapes or letters shown at the top will be harder to see
