<p>I had 20/20 vision until three years ago, when i moved into a new home and the lights weren't installed until a week later. I had to finish homework early to avoid working late at night. That's when my eyesight started failing, sadly.</p>
<p>-3.75 in one eye and -4.25 in the other. I'm jealous of people who have the same vision in both eyes, if only because it makes buying contacts easier.</p>
<p>-7.00 for left, -6.00 for right, with a fairly steady deterioration over the past few years (was a -4.5 in the left and -3.75 in the right in 8th grade - last year I was -6.5, -5.5). Hopefully I'll level out soon. Astigmatism too.</p>
<p>Glasses since fourth (needed them in 3rd, but was scared to say that I couldn't see too well), contacts since 8th.</p>
<p>Reading without glasses/contacts is impossible unless I'm within 5 inches of the paper. I can recognize faces within 3-4 feet.</p>
<p>heh. i avoided contacts/glasses until around 8th grade. it was so bad when we had assigned seats in classes like bio and i sat in the back and had to take copy notes from the smallest writing ever on the board. ughh</p>
