A member asked:
What power lens would be required to correct the myopia of someone who can only see the topmost row of a snellen chart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably about -4: Its likely that the prescription will be somewhere between -4 to -6. The only way to know for sure is to get your eyes refracted.
