Before Lasik, one eye was -7.5 and the other was -7.25. In other words, without my glasses, I was blind as a bat. But I could thread a needle without my glasses on when I was 48. Then I got Lasik. It got rid of my astigmatism, and now my eyes are -1.5 and +2.0. I can watch movies/television and do most reading without glasses. For newspapers, knitting and menus, reading glasses work fine. The last time I went to an optometrist, he wanted to correct both eyes. But that would mean I would have to wear glasses all the time. It takes a day or so for your brain to realize that one eye is for close up and one eye is for distance.
