What is Considered a Bad Astigmatism? | SportRx

Still have questions about your astigmatism? Let us know down below and we would love to help you out!

I'm 21 and I hadn't gotten a eye test since I was 17 and I just got my glasses today and the difference was unbelievable I had no idea that my eyesight was that blurry

I have it in both eyes. Barely found this out at age 22. When i put on my first pair, I literally teared up cos life is way better seeing properly. I didn't even know i had the problem! My family told me my vision was fine all my life and as a kid I simply believed em over my own ... well. EYES. lol

I've got Myopic Macular Degeneration. My Retina Specialist said it was more than likely caused by astigmatism. I might add, I started wearing glasses at 6. Diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration at 24/25. Now, at 60, I had a small bleed 3yrs ago. I also have a macular pucker and cataracts in both eyes that are inoperable.

Great video! My eyesight was terrible... I think -.11 and -.14 so I got Verisyse lens implants in each eye over a dozen years ago. Lift changing and I now see 20/40. I wear eyeglasses after about ten years not needing them at all which was fantastic. I have trouble at night now due to awful astigmatism and I use drops in my eyes called alphagan which reduces the glare. They are a bit expensive but thankfully I only use it occasionally. Worth every penny.

I have perfect vision but wear glasses because of the astigmatism. That’s just crazy.

I recently found out at 23, it’s mild though but the glasses help so much

Here is my prescription Right Sphere +4.25 Cylinder -3.5 Axis 13 Left Sphere +5.0 Cylinder -5.0 Axis 166 And my glasses is very thick and make my eyes and the side of my face so big, i hope someday that i can have that thin lenses! 🙂

25 yrs ago received glasses for this, lost the glasses a few MTHS later, oh well. I've only learnt today why raining nights have almost killed me a few times, I thought everyone had this issue. So, could be much worse if your not aware.

Irregular astigmatism could glasses help and what level level of Irregular astigmatism could eye glasses help...kindly tell me.

great info mate , just found out that 1 in 3 people in the USA have astigmatism and 1 in 2 have atleast some level on astigmatism (usually goes undetected). now one thing i wanted to ask is...can astigmatism be detected in a normal eye test? and why not? because one of my friends just discovered he has it even though he had 20/20 vision throughout his life. same for me. I've always had 20/20 vision but now maybe i need glasses. even though i can read till line 9 in the snellen chart (which is still 20/20) but I'd like to have my young vision back. thanks for the info again :)

I had Lasik Jan 2020, my right eye is slightly more blurry when I cover it up. When I use both eyes it isn't so noticeable however. I am scared though, should I worry about this?

Just got my new glasses and if I close my left eye my vision is soooooo blurry in my right that I pretty much can't see anything... I would contact my optometrist except that they are closed for the weekend🙄 I want to know if I should "push through" the recommendation adjustment period or just scrap it and go without until Monday🤦🏼‍♀️

I got -3 cyl in one eye and -3.25 cyl in other eye with spherical -0.25 in both eyes but i don't see anything blurry I just can't Able to read far letters . But with left i see blurry but with both eyes i see everything but i can't able to read far letters . My visual acuity results is 20/100 and 80/100

I have a mild perscription, but i put them on first time im like wow day and night difference with and without glasses

Good afternoon, i have -6.00 astigmatism. Can this cause Kerataconus? Have you had patients with -6.00. What if you are middle aged 45 , csn your astigmatism pass -8.00 in the future? By your interpretation if its .25 per year increase. What predicament could i be in in the next 15 years?

My vision isnt blurry but I do see a line when I see at light

4:22 Hi. I have been diagnosed with mild astigmatism in my left eye. Symptoms were blurred vision, headache and constantly twitching eye. My eye has been twitching since June 2022 (it is now Feb 2023). My optician told me that the astigmatism is causing my twitching eye and that wearing glasses all the time instead of only when I am driving will stop the symptoms in 2 months. Do you find that glasses help the twitching eye symptom that occurs with astigmatism? (The 2 months is up and the twitching continues although the headache and blurred vision have gone thank goodness 😊

Welp that could explain why I was told ray ban could not do my frames an add their logo to the sunglasses I ordered. No idea why but oh well nothing can change that. Such is life!

I am short sighted I have paid to have toric lenses as my astigmatism very bad. the surgeon can not do any more for me as the astigmatism keeps changing can u help in any way.
