A member asked:
Can you tell me is -4.25 a bad eye prescription?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderate myopia: -4.25 is considered mild to moderate myopia. It means you are near-sighted. You may be eligible for a corrective procedure like lasik. Just to understand - I have had patients with prescriptions as high as -20.0.
