Your refraction is pretty bad.
The formula:
spherical equivalent = sphere + 1/2(cylinder)
Someone who has high myopia (worse than -6 diopters) is at increased risk for retinal detachments and other retinal pathology. Your exam will probably consist of a look into your retina (back of your eye) for abnormalities like retinal holes, tears, and lattice degeneration.
You’ve got a high degree of astigmatism too which means you probably can’t be corrected to 20/20 with soft contacts. Right now, you’ve probably got glasses or hard contacts.
