But, if both are not 20/20 that theory doesn't hold. If one eye was 20/20 and the other was not, I'd be suspicious that you might have a small amount of amblyopia due to the hyperopia. Your eyes might have to work a little harder than normal, but this shouldn't have much impact on acuity.ĭid they dilate your eyes and check the vision after dilation? That might yield more information that would be useful to understand what is going on.Īs far as your questions go, it's hard to say whether contact will make any difference until we understand why you're not correctable to 20/20 today. At your age, if your eyes are +2.00 or +1.50, you shouldn't have any problem with vision. If you are far-sighted, your distant vision should be as good, or better, than your near. But I worry that I might be biting off more than I need. I am considering just shooting for lasik this month ASAP. If I were to wear contacts, do you think my vision would improve to 20/20 in 6 months? (thats when the next board is due). I have never worn contacts or glasses since I was a kid. My correction was +2.00 in one eye and +1.50 in another. With correction in the eye exam, I was only able to get 20/20-1 in one eye and 20/25 in another. My recent vision diagnosis was 20/40+1 and 20/30 in each eye.
