What Does A Person With Astigmatism See?

I have -3 and -4 in my glasses, but the world looks more like -2 in the video. It's hard to explain to ppl how I can still see without glasses, just can't read.

It wasn't until -4 that I realized you had been going through the lens. Aside from the no lens section, which was unusually crisp for me, every page looked normal until -4. Though I wonder why these astigmatism videos never look at the best part of astigmatism vision. The lights. And now that it is the holiday season, it's the perfect time. All those holiday decorations. All those Christmas trees. I swear I have never seen a Christmas tree that wasn't filled with twinkling stars pretending to be Christmas lights. Too bad I'm allergic to pine.

idk if this is exactly how i see it but i think i dont notice it as much during day but driving at night chiiiiiiiiillllldddddd. or maybe im just used to seeing it this way for so long nothing looks abnormal lol

I was diagnosed with astigmatism 7 months ago.

I wear a -2.75 and a -3.75 for my astigmatism, and one eye is horizontal, the other oblique. Also a +1.75 bifocal. My astigmatism makes lights distorted and things just blurry, especially at night. Hard to describe the blur exactly.

i started with - 2 in my 7th standard, probably due to my minidoxil injections side effect for alopecia hair loss, during follow-up stated headaches doctor said maybe due eye power charges, i couldn't even read the calendar in the clinic, found out - 2 power was present, now i'm 44 & have add +1.25 also single distance vison was so sharp, progressive lens gave me shock in the division of distance, intermediate & reading focals,still have made a single distance vison for outdoor activities comfort.

I had oblique mixed astigmatism, OD: +4.50D sph -5.50D cyl ax 145°, OS: +4.00D sph - 5.00D cyl ax 30°

I don’t think you get the proper intended effect because the phone camera is always correcting lighting.. maybe have your phones focused locked in so it dosent keep automatically correcting the light?

Too generous.. I’m a -6 I would not see that much detail .. to me products on shelves look like blotches of colour . Up close my eyesight is perfect , I can see tiny details

Awesome video! The -1.00 did it for me. 👓

I have .50 astigmatism deetected .. but headlight coming fromm car looks like long lines .. is it possible a person with small astigmatism havimg this issue.. or its something else?

So it looks like wearing a stronger eyeglass prescription than you're supposed to?

I have -5.75 with astigmatism and mine looks way worse than the -6 you showed.

Thank you for your video! I have a mild like astigmatism -2.00-2.50 or even -3.00 on top of my myopia (-7.5 one eye -2.00 astigmatism and -11.5 another eye (with cataract now) where I have -3 astigmatism). It’s strange as before cataract the eye which is -11.5 now was -8.5 and had -2.25-2.5 astigmatism, but now it showed -3 astigmatism). I notice I see with less headache with -2.00 cyl on left eye than with -2.5 cyl where the vision is more clear and dazzling. But that’s not what is bothering me. If they put monofocal IOL lens set for distance with my astigmatism is that how I’m going to see as you show in your test? How come I can sort of see ok when I take off my glasses and bring the phone next to my nose (where I have my focus) and I can see all right (apart from that stupid fog occasionally). I can still read and watch a film without glasses on my phone and I don’t feel any astigmatism??? How am I going to see if they don’t correct astigmatism during a cataract surgery? That’s all very strange and puzzles me. I just wonder as I worry that toric lenses may not be safe or stable or that’s the only option for me?

Moderate oblique astigmatism here... Hi!

Why does everyone have a minus and I have a + 0.75 I know that I’m farsided but my astigmatism is a +

Thanks for this video

I have astigmatism OD: sph -1,00. cyl -2,50 ax:117° OS: sph -6,5. cyl -8,00. ax:88°. can you tell me what sph,cyl and ax means? and how bad mine vision is?

What about irregular astigmatism? Will you make a video for that?

Go outside and look at street lights at night
