How bad are my eyes if I was prescribed glasses that are -5.00?

Pretty bad.  It would be illegal for you to drive without your glasses.  You cannot see the signs on the highway unless you are just yards away.....\n\n-5 diapteras is pretty bad, fella.

Not a sin, but you could go blind....I'd say you should just do it until you need glasses.

Sometimes insurances are crappy like that.  you should make sure that its for the entire pair of glasses.  some ins. cover a portion of the frame and something for the Lenses.  wal-mart or america's best... or a private optometrist may have some cheap glasses too.  just look around.

If you need them all the time then wear them all the time.  It's not wearing them when you need to that makes them worse. -- My husband wears eye glasses and his prescription barely changes enough to notice --

Most laser refractive surgery is recommended with people of 6.00 or less.  So, this makes you on the edge.  Lasik and other refractive surgeries or PRK or corneal rings are very safe. The best thing you can do if you are thinking about laser surgery is to really research the doctors in your area.  Stay away from the people who claim it's so easy they can do it over your lunch break.  There are some risks as with any surgery. Most practices have someone in charge of marketing and would be happy to either set you up with a free consultation with their corneal specialist or send you more information than you could ever dream of.\n\nAs far as cost, my practice charges just under $1,300 per eye. Pain is minimal and I have mostly heard it described as annoying achiness.  There will be eye drops for a while afterwards, make sure you are okay with that.\n\nAlso keep in mind that not everyone is a good candidate for surgery.  There are several tests required in determining whether you can have surgery. You have to have enough eye tissue, no dryness, etc.

Why would you do that? If you can't see then there will be no one to complain to and no one to fix it for you without sending them back. It won't save you money and if you wear the wrong Rx for to long it can do some serious damage to your eyes. You can buy a frame just about anywhere but to get the rx lenses you should seriously consider going to a professional.

How long ago did you get them? Some places have a return policy if you change your mind in a certain amount of time. \n\nI have glasses and I recommend anyone getting them for the first time try to find a place that will give you a deal like that. \n\nI have had mine a while. I get the thinner newer frames and kind of small frames. They look better on me. It does take you a while to find what you like. But I did. \n\nHave you thought of contacs. I could not wear them though. So get trial ones if you try them. An eye doctor will charge more to get the contac RX but usually will give you a free trial pair. \n\nI have found the best and cheapest glasses at Walmart. But mine are still like over $200, under $300. But I am picky and wear mine for several years. My eyes have stopped getting worse. \n\nI have astigmatism. But a really weird thing happened like the year before last. My near sighted problems got 5 times better!!! The eye doctor said it is rare but happens. Same place I have went to for ages. I went in thinking my eyes were worse, I had worse headaches and I had to keep taking my glasses off that I had a long time. And was in shock when the eye doctor told me that!!!\n\nGood luck!!! BTW my husband still finds me hot, lol.

I don't like to wear mine, either. However, since I use my computer as much as I do, and I also worked at Verizon, where I was on a computer for 8+ hours a day, my vision has gotten worse. There are many different styles of glasses you can get. Some have barely any frames, and they aren't as noticeable as the ones with full frames. I have a pair of them, and I like them much better. I can't wear my contacts, either, because I have allergies. My eyes get really irritated when I wear them. It does take time to get used to wearing them, but I think you will find that you can get frames that will compliment your face. Good Luck!

I think it depends on how often you wear your glasses, but i'd give yourself a good few days to properly adjust.\nIf your eyes still can't settle after a week, i'd say go back to the Optician. I had to do that once, and all it was was the different frame style was magnifying everything! One tweak of the frames and I was fine :-)

if they aren't prescribed they can hurt your eyes.

Talk to an eye specialist, like an ophamologist, to discuss all the benefits and the potential risks about it. Cost varies but I've read between 1000 and 2000 dollars per eye.

Those should be fairly thick- unless there is some kind of special thin lense-my old glasses were a -6.00 and plastic-and fairly thick= D
