What Do The Numbers Mean On Your Contact Lense Rx?

Can any one explain what the numbers on your prescription?
I know that 20/20 is perfect vision, but when the numbers are negative numbers, explain what it means and when your eyes are really really bad, meaning that you can’t see your own hand if you hold it straight out in front of you (without your contacts or glasses of course) what would your numbers be to be considered legally blind?
when I say that you can’t see it I don’t mean that you can’t see anything, but if you had a paper in your hand, you probably couldn’t see what was written on it even if it was the size of the biggest letter on the eye chart. and while I’m asking, I thought of another question
If you wear corrective lenses all the time, do your eyes become dependent on them, meaning that they will never get stronger, almost like building an immunity to antibiotics?
Wow, I think I confused myself on that one, but if you understand what I was trying to ask, answer please. I hate wearing contacts and glasses just the same, considering lacik surgery, but was just curious about all this stuff, and oops sorry, another question, is there any thing different I would need to do besides ask my eye doc about the surgery? meaning is there any waiting period, or anything that he will make me do before he can recommend, or do the surgery. once I decide, I am a very impatiant person, and don’t like to wait, I like instant gratification. I also have an astigmatism will that be a factor in the surgery, meaning that I couldn’t have it done.
sorry so long, I started asking, and a dozen more questions popped into my head =(

Do Eyeglasses Mess Up Your Peripheral Vision? Do You Use Your Peripheral Vision Much When You Drive?

I’ve been wearing contacts for most of my life. But now I have an astigmatism and the lenses to correct it sometimes shift, causing blurry vision. I’m afraid this will happen while I’m driving. Laser surgery is too expensive right now, so I’m thinking of getting eyeglasses to use while driving. My concern is that the glasses will interfere with my peripheral vision. Not a problem most of the time, but will it affect my driving?
