You should know your own prescription and your lasik surgeon(probably
one of his technicians/optometrists) should have told you when he
tested you prior to getting lasik. I have dug back in your posts and
found this:


I have done the same things you have and my behavioral OD thinks with
persistence we can get to -2.0 diopters. BTW, my clear point using a
ruler is about 15 inches. I am down to -2.50 and only wear glasses to
drive.


My vision flaots around -3.50 OS and -2.75 OD. My original
prescriptions for lenses had me -4.25 OS and -3.75 OD so something
positive has happened since I stopped wearing all forms of vision
correction back in May of 2005. I do exercises and attend therapy to
help with strabismus and focusing and maybe that has helped some with
myopia. My mindset without my glasses is that I can still see, just not

clearly at distances.


Please see that thread for my reply. No point having two indentical
replies in different threads:
