• Is it better to wear a slightly weaker glasses than your eyes prescription?

  Since you feel dizzy at closer objects with your original prescription, you should take your doctor's advice to wear a slightly weaker glasses which you can get used to quickly.

So I think it is better to wear a slightly weaker glasses.

• How bad can your eye prescription be if you are legally blind?

  Legally blind has nothing to do with the prescription numbers. Legally blind means that your best vision cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses any better than 20/200. A normal person with 20/20 vision can see objects clearly that is 200 feet away from him, while the legally blind person can only see the object clearly that is 20 feet away from him. A legally blind person can't see objects clearly that is very far or close.

  You may see better in the morning but the prescription will not change if you have eye exam in the evening.
