*i went without glasses for over a decade and in that time my vision kept getting worse. i was having to squint and squeeze pretty badly and just couldn't see. i **_finally_** got a prescription in 2020 and a few weeks later got a pair of glasses.* *WOW. i couldn't believe people could see so clearly, naturally, with healthy eyesight. it really blew my mind to think that there are people who see so clear. i struggled pretty badly for the first couple of weeks. i was seeing **_too_** clear and it was making me dizzy and nauseous. i almost couldn't walk. for real.* *know what i have now? it's soooo funny. i have granny beads! eyeglass chain, so i can have my glasses nearby when i need them but the ability to take them off and not have to put them in a case or otherwise risk losing or damaging them. i'm an overgrown child who can't stop laughing at the fact that i'm an old lady now. granny beads are right up my ally, so amusing.* *i have these really bad, heavy, deep lines between my eyebrows from all those years of intense squinting and squeezing. permanent scarring, really.*

Glare is not astigmatism. If you have astigmatism you see two lights. If it’s a line then you see two parallel lights one above another. You see stars as lines no matter how hard you try you don’t see stars as a dot

[@Spongebob14579]

I suffer from this but it isn’t as bad as people think it is. Your eyes don’t always see odd refractions of light it can also depend on how stressed ur eyes are, if I’m relaxed and things are going fine my eyes will see clear and normal but sadly lights on card like headlights always appear as weird glares for me so I’m interested in getting some glasses to correct it!

[@CaptainTrips2020]

I was diagnosed with astigmatism at 15, I'm now 49. When I was diagnosed, the only option for contacts were hard contacts and those are horrible. Years later my Dr told me they have soft lenses I can use now, so I've tried them twice and just couldn't deal with the trouble of wearing them. You have to wear toric? Lenses which are weighted on the bottom because just like the glasses there are 4 areas of adjustments to your vision. The problem is I work construction and I'm not always standing upright. The lenses only work because the are weighted at the bottom and don't rotate. Well you'll soon find out if you decide to lay on the couch to watch TV, the contacts will rotate 90 degrees and you can't see anything lol. I've worn glasses for 33 years and everytime I go to the Dr, I have to get a stronger prescription. I kept some contacts for some days when if like to wear sunglasses, like going fishing or just out and about. But now I'm off the chart for available contact correction in my left eye. The strongest soft contact is no longer enough to correct my left eye vision. So hopefully one day I'll be able to get the surgery. Otherwise it's glasses till the end😅. Good luck on your journey with astigmatism if you are just finding out.

[@rileyesposito3043]

All I know that I didn’t have Astigamatism when I was born. And I didn’t have it when I got my first pair of Glasses.But I got Astigamatism after I wore Glasses for a while. I believe it is the Glasses you wear to cause the Astigamatism. So Astigamatism can be reversed. I got rid of the Astigamatism by wearing glasses without Astigamatism correction and wearing same power in both eyes glasses. Also I do more exercises.

[@jeffreysummers6843]

My astigmatism went away in the right eye after using progressively higher reading glasses (+1.0 -> +2.0) when working close up and progressively lower distance glasses (-1.5 -> -0.75) when driving or at least two hours a day. Look up Todd Becker myopia a modern yet reversible condition.

We actually have the same story/situation right now. I have also double vision and thought it's only regular astigmatism.

Hello, I have astigmatism. For the people without astigmatism I will easily explain what we see when we look at light. Step 1: Take your phone Step 2: Open your camera app Step 3: Point the camera at a light source Step 4: Wipe the camera lens with your bare fingers The light now looks distorted on the camera with like ‘Stripes’ on the side. That’s what we see with Astigmatism. The strength of the distortion may differ according to your own eyes.

After surgery for astigmatism does the shape of the cornea change too?

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

Depends on the surgery. If lasik or prk then yes! Cornea becomes flatter. Good video idea actually!

@@EyeSchoolwithDrD thank you! Ive noticed that both of my eyes, they sort of bulge out not sure if it has anything to do with it. So the change means that others might notice it as well? In pictures the eye with astigmatism never seems focused on the camera rather it appears to be looking the other way, i dont have this in pictures when i was younger and my vision bc of online classes and not wearing glasses regularly has made the astigmatism worse i believe.

Can you wear glasses for certain time and then not wear glasses or once u have astigmatisum u them always have to wear glasses?? Thnx

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

Wearing your glasses will not "cure" your astigmatism. Glasses can not correct astigmatism in the sense that they "cure" your eyes. They correct for the astigmatism in the sense that they fix it while the glasses are on.

i have astigmatism in both eyes and i’m far sided. i also had esotropia as a child but was corrected over time. i now have a corneal ulcer being treated that will leave scarring which worries me for future use of contact lenses and overall vision but surgery is an option. i’ve realized that the eye with the ulcer is turning outward now? i think it’s due to lack of muscle use but it’s freaking me out and idk what to do :(

Sorry for my bold comment, but with you any "astigmatism" is flawless.
