A member asked:
If i can't see far objects very well, is my eye-sight power (sph) scaled at + or -?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check yourself: Get an ordinary magnifying glasses and if that improves the vision, then you are (+). If it makes it worse, then you are (-). Either way, your ophthalmologist can determine the best power in eyeglasses for you.
