Val (Zebedee) Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 wow, that is interesting, I always thought the figures were per eye (20 "whatevers" for the left / 20 "whatevers" for the right) as in 20 was the ultimate in perfect vision & anything less was degradation of the vision on a sliding scale .... see, never too old to learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine wouldn't be far off 20/200 right now but they are slowly getting better as the sugar levels come under control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be something easy to take control of if you do and so damn tragic if you don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Take care of yourself guy, I've just lost a friend because he ignored his diabetes and another who now has two metal feet! It seems to be something easy to take control of if you do and so damn tragic if you don't! Thanks Al' My Step-Dad had type 2 for over 20 years, So I had a little bit of info / background. He was blind too and managed his condition really well. Small changes and a new routine and then you can live a normal productive life.

Elyse Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Interesting, thanks for posting! I have horrible vision...I've had a -11 prescription my whole life for near-sightedness. So my glasses are like my lifeline - lol. Even laser correction will not completely fix the problem. But, with my glasses, my eyes are almost 20/20...although my left eye can see clearer than my right eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GohanTheHusky Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Interesting article.. I myself have not the best vision and I'm only 17. I wish I had better vision because vision is everything in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi92 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Interesting article. I had what they said was perfect vision and within 2weeks my eyes went funny now I have to wear glasses mainly for reading need to get them checked again though. Get better soon Andy xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kells xx Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 My dad has always said that his eyesight was the last thing he wants to lose. To lose an arm or leg you can get prosthetics and be somewhat normal again but to lose your eyes would mean my dad would lose his independence,he couldn't read his kindle or paint again.. See his kids/grandkids grow... My own eyes are crap.. I had a squint in my right eye and my vision in it is awful im totally left eye dependant Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
