Today we talk about what astigmatism feels like (What it feels like to have astigmatism).

and also this video isn't sponsored by Coopervision, from my knowledge Biofinity XR toric is the ONLY soft contact lens that corrects up to that amount in the market (but correct me if this is inaccurate).

    I remember being 17 and was asked by my friend of why im staring at a light source. Was telling her that i was wondering about the lines formed by the light, and she said "Everyone sees that you know". 2 years later, we met after being apart, and found out that we were both diagnosed with astigmatism.

    I have an astigmatism. I didn’t know not everyone saw that “light streaking” until now. I thought that was normal. No wonder my husband looked at me strange when I mentioned it to him! This was an incredibly well done video on the condition. Thank you.

    I have astigmatism and I wear progressive bifocals to see properly. I hate driving at night especially if it’s raining , it’s a horrible experience for me. Thank you because now I can explain to my son what I see as opposed to what he sees. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Ah, this is fascinating, as someone who has astigmatism. Thank you for making such interesting content accessible! I wish I could have found this much sooner. I like seeing how other people with different conditions experience things, whether it be with their sight, hearing, or what-not. It's just fun to know!

    I got my first set of glasses when I was 27, my optometrist told me I had mild astigmatism and most likely had it from birth. I still remember walking outside with my glasses on and being absolutely blown away by how crisp everything looked because I was under the impression that I had perfect vision and most people saw things the way I did.

    I also thought everyone saw the streaks of light coming out of artificial lights at night. It wasn't until like a year ago that I found out it was a symptom of my astigmatism. I hate driving at night in general, but I especially hate driving at night when it is raining because the streaks are everywhere, including the in the water reflections.

    This is a super neat video, I didn't know there were different types of astigmatism. It's neat seeing them compared and compared to normal vision. It took me forever to realize that lights didn't streak like that for everyone
  • @ashleyriot50
    After watching your video, it now makes sense to me why I was seeing vertical lines at light sources when I drive every night (traffic lights, incoming lights sources from vehicles). I find the video very educational and explains a lot! I always thought that everyone is seeing the same lines on light sources as me. I'm still able to drive without needing to wear my glasses just fine, I mostly wear it when I'm at home.

    I've gotten so used to the light streaks during night that when I finally got some glasses to deal with my astigmatism, it just feels weird with the light streaks gone. I know it's weird but I honestly really liked the light streaks too, I've associated them with some of my best core memories during childhood, like going for a road trip during night and seeing the light streaks coming from the headlights of other vehicles. Edit: I should've probably worded this better. The light streaks aren't completely gone, but they look different with the glasses. Still feels weird tho

    I've been complaining about not being able to "focus" on letters even with my glasses. This 100% explains why I could always "guess" every letter on the optometrist's board even though I couldn't actually read them 🤡
  • @lenoredavi6137
    Thanks! This is very helpful. I used to wear toric lenses. 😊 My astigmatism comes and goes every few years. Eye excercises and proactively managing my stress levels make a significant difference in my vision levels. It's reassuring to know that l can make small, but significant improvements when l focus my intentions and practice regularly.
  • Been wearing glasses since I was six months old due to being born three months early and weighing 1 lb 6 oz. I had to have major eye surgery as a baby to save my vision but it only worked in one eye. I have tons of eye problems including an astigmatism. I can relate to this video all too well! Thanks for sharing and educating others ❤
  • As a person with astigmatism, watching this video hurt my eyes. I could feel my eyes straining to try and clear up the picture, as they have been trained to attempt when I am not wearing my glasses. But since there was no helping that picture, they just worked and worked to no avail. Taking off my glasses helped. But then I just saw more astigmatism than intended...
  • @RedElm747
    As someone with both nearsightedness and astigmatism, I find reading street signs extremely difficult (especially at night) even with corrective lenses. I wish they made them bigger so I could read them before I'm supposed to make turns.
  • @BlueRoseHelen252
    Love this video it helps my family see how I see a bit better. Thank you. I've known for a few years I have Astigmatism in my right eye, but I'm only found out recently I also have 2 different Astigmatism in my left eye as well...this was news to me some am now starting on a journey of learning about my stigmatisms this has helped me thank you. 😊
  • @jimmyzbike
    This has helped me understand what my own Dr has been telling me about my own eyes. Thank you
  • @DeadSlugg
    For those wondering, don't confuse astigmatism with night lights seen through car windscreens. The light refracts differently when looking through a glass pane/windshield. Don't panic like I did lol
  • I have astigmatism and growing up my mom never believed that there was anything wrong with my eyes. But i sure everything was more blurry than it should be and I was sure I needed glasses. So sure that when she wouldn't get my eyes checked I did an at home test. All it told me was that I was neither near nor far sighted. Thought I'd just have to live with a blurry world and it was all in my head. I didn't even know what astigmatism was. It wasn't until I was getting migranes in college that I finally went to the eye doctor. Sure enough, perfect sight with just Astigmatism. It felt so good for the headaches to go away and to finally see things
  • @monicamestas7566
    Very informative. I've had astigmatism since I was a child. Can't wait to go outside in the dark and see which way the streetlight streaks. Thanks!
  • You explained the light streaking thing far better than anyone else has! I didn't realise it was about the one streak being stronger, and had been skeptical because lights "streak" with or without my glasses on!
