What is the maximum myopia that contact lens can correct to 20/20 degree?


is it -3.0 or -3.5 or 4.0?

 

Contact lenses can come in very high pescriptions, many companies make
them in the -10 to -12 range and ive seen special orders even higher
than this. Also keep in mind due to vertex distance, -12 contacts
correct you as much as -15 glasses. 20/20 has to do with your optics.
Some people arent correctable to 20/20, this is very common for higher
myopes, especially with glasses which minify. I am a -5 and my glasses
makes things smaller so I cant see 20/20 its too small to be readable.

 

I believe it was Larry Bickford's turn to lock up last night.

Larry? Did you leave the door open?? <g>

 

None of the above. If the eye is otherwise healthy, there is no
theoretical maximum of myopia that cannot correct to AT LEAST 20/20 with
contact lenses.

w.stacy, o.d.

 

I believe that I was once -12D. Of course, believe it or not, some
people need contacts who aren't even myopic. Back when they did
cataract surgery differently, some people needed major plus contacts. I
think that it was way more than 12D.

Thats true, but very large amouts of myopia is not normal and often
pathalogical so alot of very high myopes never get 20/20, especially
not with minifying glasses. Still contacts will make one big, big
difference in how you see

 

Open just a crack, and only once every week or so. When the "killed"
number is over 20% of the total posts, I simply mark them all "read"
and go away.

Just seems like there are more important things to do these days.

See y'all later. Hope the fog lifts soon.
