Vision question...

Post by Alexitt »

This may seem like a dumb question but I can't remember if I had to order - or + corrective lenses for my mask...
I wear glasses but not contacts and am very nearsighted... After cataract surgery earlier this year the prescription changed considerably and it's now hard to focus on near objects... Camera, Computer, gauges etc... Unfortunately the lenses aren't marked +/- in my mask and my rememberer is broken... I'm pretty sure it's minus for nearsighted and plus for farsighted but with the price of lenses I don't want to order the wrong way and have to return and switch... No they're not real prescription lenses just the standard diopter type... Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
-Alex-

You're right. Minus is for nearsighted (trouble seeing things far away) and plus is for farsighted (trouble seeing things up close).
