Eye See You

So normal vision is 20/20 - that's what your optometrist, if you should need one, will work to get your vision to if you need glasses or contacts. Low vision is anywhere from the 20/60 to 20/400 range (where a -4.00 stands for 20/400 vision) - legally blind (but able to be corrected to 20/20) vision is 20/800.

My mother always had the most notoriously bad eyes in the family; it's a well known fact that without her glasses or contacts, she'll trip over things and walk into doors and such. Her vision is 20/500, or -5.00. My father always said he really hoped my eyes never got that bad.

My eyes as of today?

20/700. That's a -7.00.

I think it's time for lasik.
