POLL: 20/20, eyeglasses, contacts, Lasik?

[AllGold]

I want the kind of vision I had when I was 15.

In my late high school and early college years my vision was gradually getting worse. I finally decided I needed glasses. I had a college friend recommend I go to the university Department of Ophthalmology rather than a regular optometrist because they would be a lot more thorough (not sure why I needed that--just to make sure I didn't have any medical problems I guess).

So the doctor did a zillion tests and apparently found nothing medically wrong. After he was finished he sat down with me and asked "So why are you here?" I said "Because my vision has gotten a lot worse. I can't see as well as I used to and I need glasses." He told me my vision was 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other! My vision must have been crazy when I was a kid.

I have worn glasses ever since. I'm sure it hasn't been 20/20 for many years. My correction is entirely astigmatism though.
