When I wear a current prescription, for some odd reason, my eyesight goes to 20/15, but I don't know what it is without them.
If I take my glasses off and look at that eyechart just sitting about two feet away, I can't read the bottom two lines.

Once, my optometrist showed me my lenses before they were cut. The lens for my left eye was nearly half an inch thick at the edge. He said I should always purchase glasses with small lenses to minimize that coke-bottle effect. My right eye isn't nearly as bad as my left.
I have no idea what my vision is in numbers, but I do know I have astigmatism. Woo. I do have my numbers somewhere in a file, though, just in case my glasses shatter (unlikely) or the computer system at Binyons fails.
