I have both pretty bad myopia and astigmatism and driving at night is the absolute worst because all the lights are way brighter and seem stretched out, especially if I'm driving in a rural area with little light. Makes it much harder to anything else. Same for driving in heavy rain. Also, growing up I thought the whole Velma not being able to find her glasses was just a humor thing. No. It's real. If my glasses aren't exactly where i usually keep them, I can't find em 😅🥲

I was diagnosed with myopic astigmatism when I was 23. I noticed that I couldn’t read the aisle signs in Walmart when my girlfriend at the time had absolutely no issues doing so. Then, while driving, I would ask her to read road signs I wasn’t close enough to read yet. She could read them easily. When I got my glasses, I wanted to cry. I had never seen how beautiful the world could be. I no longer sit 3 feet away from the tv too!

Wow! At 49, I knew from a very young age, that I was both myopic and an astigmate, but in this video with the clockface, I saw for the first time just now that I have in fact "against the rule" astigmatism, a distinction which I never even knew existed. Thank you!

This is the best explanation I've seen of this. I've been wearing glasses for 45 years and no one had ever explained any of this to me. Thanks!

This is a gem. It’s so useful to compare visual experiences which are uniquely personal. I’ll be using your videos to help my kids recognise if they need to see an optician. Loved the clock astigmatism example. Thanks :)

Love your videos Dr. Hong! Now more people will understand the differences of Myopia and Astigmatism! 💖 As an optometrist in my country, I always try to explain these things to my patients. There is a common misconception that without glasses, myopic/astigmatic people are blind. I always point out the differences to them. I say that most of the time the edges of letters or numbers are blurred, and the form & color of objects are what remains to be seen for people with errors of refraction. Blind people on the other hand would have a hard time seeing the forms of objects/letters/numbers, plus their eyesight wouldn't be improved with glasses anymore, it would just be a visual aid for them, but typically 20/20 letters are quite impossible.

I'm -10.00 -1.00 in my right eye and -10.50 -0.50 in my left. I'm also a dispensing optician and nothing annoys me more than people who say "you don't understand, my eye are so bad" but they have barely any prescription.

Hey yo Antonio! Thank you for your content! One idea is that you could do a video overlaying both issues, as many people have both myopia and astigmatism. It would be cool to show people the combined effect. You could also look at how the combination of different eye issues affects the end result, such as oblique astigmatism in one eye together with with the rule or against the rule in the other (perhaps plus myopia).

Brilliant info! Without the visual demonstrations here it is difficult for us laymen to understand the differences between astigmatism and myopia. I found this video really useful, thanks.

Great video and comparison Antonio.

My astigmatism looks different, It's not simple x/y axis and there are also multiple copies of the image. It's like when you copy a layer 3-10 times on photoshop, displace them a bit and put some 10-25% transparency on it and the different astigmatism angle on each. Also, in the street light example, looking at one/original copy, the streak of light is not only like half of the radius, but at least half the length of the pole but also at reduced transparency!

I agree with you on the astigmatism part. But the "representation" of myopia is inaccurate. It is correct for mechanical lens but not human eyes. Lemme explain. I have -2 dioptri from childhood to -14 now so i can tell you my experience The reason for this, is that your brain will "correct" blurriness the more you have dioptri. So big image like cars wont get mashed up like this video, but small words does kinda accurate. For example, the car is still "somewhat" clear but the edge is blurry. You can still see the shape of the car, but not the details. In my experience this is due to the brain try to correct things up Also, based on mechanical lens, if you have 14 dioptri you should not be able to do anything. Yet i, can do everyday task, like grabbing things, drinking, sitting. Because i can still see "things". Yet i can only see these letter on my smartphone when its 4 cm from my eyes. Hope this helps

Hi Antonio, your videos are really good and informative. Thank you for sharing with us. How do you simulate or show on video the faulty vision of a myopic or astigmatism eye? Is there any tool or app?

Amazing explanation all is clarified with one video!

I have some questions after seeing this video for context I have albinism so it might be different but when I see a vision chart most of the letters are simply too small to see so would this be a reault of both astigmatism and Myopia? or perhaps other issues such as sensitivity to light or all of the above.

Good content. I have astigmatism and I see the world like you present it

Hello doc! I was diagnosed with astigmatism 1 and a half years ago. My glasses lens are so scratched now that i need to replace them. Do i need to go to the Ophtalmologist again? Or i can just replace the lens and that's it? I read on google that Ophtalmologist and Optometrist are diffrent types of doctors and i need to go to ophtalmologist less often, only when i have a problem.

I'm unsure if you'll see this, and I don't know if you've already done a video on this, but is sudden vision blurring a concern if you don't have anything in your eyes?

My glasses work well sometimes, but then my eye begins to blur pretty intensely and my same glasses no longer correct it enough.

I have both. But my astigmatism isn't like myopia (-1.00, -1.75, etc.), it's written “axis” on my contacts. 160 for the left one and 20 for the right one. What does this mean ?

Do you recommend any optometrists as yourself in Houston. I feel the ones I have seen just pass my concerns on my vision

I have both, unfortunately, and it's hard to find the correct lenses because in the morning I usually see much better than in the evening (I need -1,75 in the morning, and in the evening it would be better to have -2). Is there a solution? Someone suggested I try some contact lenses that you put on during the night and remove them for the day, could you explain how they work and if I should use them rather than normal glasses?

I hope you don't mind if I answer. Orthokeratology molds the superior layer of the cornea with a special, rigid lens (which is very comfortable) to be worn during the nighttime. The effect is completely reversible by just not using the lenses, and the duration of the eye correction is usually enough for one day (a bit more if the lenses are worn a lot and/or the refractive error is low). The best effect is at morning; in the evening, if very late or if the lenses have been removed very early there may be a little blur. No glasses needed, the effect is kept on by wearing the lenses. The great limits are the obligation to wear the lenses (because if you have a -2.50 and skip one night the eye correction may be -1.00 and the vision will be blurry both with and without the glasses), and the range of the correction possible. Modern designs have a range from -6.00 to +3.00 with a max of 2 or 3 D of astigmatism. It's obviously required a medical ok to start the treatment and followup visits are indeed very necessary.

I now want to see the difference between myopia, astigmatism ans myopic astigmatism. I've been thinking I have only myopia but it seems like I have mild(?) astigmatism too? My myopia wins when it comes to things I cannot see properly due to blur, obviously, but I have long noticed that when my vision starts to degrade, it starts with slight shift/stretch of the stuff I'm looking at. Or is it common for everyone with myopia?

can astigmatism caused straight line looks slanted / bent? i wonder if is i having increased astigmatism or macular diseases

Hi, I am highly myopic , I have new glasses, but it destroy totally my close vision, I have to put back my arm to the max to read on my ipad, right now I just found a trick it’s to put far from my eyes my glasses, to they reach the extremity of my nose, near my nostrils, but it’s doesn’t help me to breath correctly, can you explain me what is the problem possible please ? Too strong prescription ?

If you have just astigmatism, does the blurryness/stretching change with distance? Meaning if you have 1D of astigmatism and NO myopia, do things close up look less distorted than things far away?

Having both and the first number go between -4.5 to -5, its panic inducing at eye doctors office to be asked to move room to room without contacts in.

Hello. This video has very userul information but I have a question if anyone can help me. I just got some glasses, the doctor that had my vision tested said I have myopia, -1 and -1.25.

i have mild astigmatism (and myopia) and I never knew about the 3 types of astigmatism. Now I think mine is the oblique and aparently one eye goes one diagonal (tight to left) and the other one goes another diagonal (left to right) is that even possible?

Recently needed a correction on my Rx and watching this video makes so much sense now. The optometrist added -0.50 Cyl on BE besides the -2.00 Sph I already had also on BE. I had to tilt my head to read farther text clearly; post correction it's all in focus and no head tilt needed. Edit: The opthalmologist I went earlier with my complaint suggested no change was required to the Rx and kept the same 👓.

@aldergreen

Жыл бұрын

Sometimes ophtalmologists ignore astigmatism less than 0.50. It's common for people to not see a big difference and if a person's rx has been all spheric in school they teach you to try to stick to it. I am a personal fan of well correcting this kind of cylinder (if tolerated), especially in young people who may struggle at school or have a complaint on blurry vision even with glasses. I am one of the people that without a -0.50 cyl have a discomfort. I get headaches, eyestrain and an annoying blurry sensation, even if my myopia (about -4.50 OU) is well compensated.

I have -1.75 cylinder and I’m functional at close distances like 15 feet or less without glasses. I get eye strain though if I go without glasses for the whole day and get a headache.

I am almost 20 years old and have been wearing glasses for three years. I'm feeling anxious about going to the doctor tomorrow because I have astigmatism. My work primarily involves using my laptop and phone throughout the day, and this worries me.

Hi, I have a high prescription and im concerned about my eyesight but I do have regular check up here is my prescription R - 1100 - 175, L - 1300 -100. And I'm thinking of getting a lasik in the future is there any chance of how not to worsen my eyesight?🥺🥺

Ophthalmology pays better money but teaching someone to wear contacts was my best fulfilling job. The glow on a teenager's face to have different color eyes, was always heart warming. "I'm against the rule". 😁

Never been to an optician, but based on this video I suspect I might have some astigmatism. What I have noticed too, is that blue lights at night (like in company logos and lighted signs) seem to be like way out of focus in my vision. There's no problem with other colored lights, only blue light is extremely blurry. Is it possible that the eye focuses different wavelengths of light in different ways?

Idk if you have already gotten an answer, but yes - the different wavelengths of red, green and blue light are directed differently by the lens. So for example if light of all three colors enters the eye from roughly the same spot, they don't arrive at the same point on the retina. This is why it's so unpleasant to read, for example, red writing on a green background. However, I have no idea if there's a causal relation between astigmatism and your seeing blue light differently.

I have astigmatism and am nearsighted. No optometrist told me when I was younger that being nearsighted can mean that you're at greater risk for retinal detachment due to the shape of the eyeball. At 22, I had a buckle put on one eye for detachment and had cryopexy done on the other. Due to the buckle, when light hits my eye a certain way, I can see the inside of my eye.

I saw my regular optometrist due to floaters, flashes of light and a blind spot. She told me nothing, just got on the phone with another doctor and I heard, "...I think a patient has retinal detachment." Ophthalmologist #1 really didn't explain much but referred me to ophthalmologist #2 who did the buckle surgery. #1 just said, "Don't eat anything passed midnight. You'll probably have surgery tomorrow." At that point, it was horrifying, since no one had really explained anything. When I saw #2, I learned that I had detachment in one eye and tears in the other. The buckle surgery was very painful. (I was actually awake for the surgery.) I've been really vigilant since then, watching for any new weirdness. And I make it a point to keep any eye doctor appointments. I still have the original bind spot, flashes of light, "glasses noodle" floaters, and things, but I've been good since then.

Can the degree of astigmatism change over time like myopia or is it largely fixed?

From personal experience, yes. I have both myopia and astigmatism and each year my vision is a little bit worse, which is why even at 30 I'm still not eligible for surgery. That said, astigmatism can settle, but it's important to keep checking yearly especially how the curvature of your eye is going. My ophthalmologist also tells me to please stop rubbing my eyes every time, as that can make eyes with astigmatism worse, but i truly forget lol

I have compound myopic astigmatism , for those who don't understand light converge at different points in different points infront of retina. i have -1.5 astigmatism and -3 myopia on both eyes

I have been living with astigmatism and myopia (both lens strength are -2,00) i thought it was normal vision untill i noticed that i cant read the black board in class, so i took pictures of it and zoomed it. A couple days later me and my mom went to the local optometrist and i got the news that i need glasses. I was very sad then, but now 6 months later i've gotten used to it. The best thing is that it doesn't affect my motocross hobby (with putting on the goggles comfortably). That's it,don't be afraid to get glasses, it is a little weird, but you'll get used to it :)

and then it's me here sitting with -1.00 myopia, astigmatism and farsightedness lol

I have both, plus use reading glasses. I had to quit driving because I also have amblyopia in one visual cortex ( specifically said because it’s not the eye). I have -4 diopter vision.

I have myopia too. My left eye is -1.00 while my right eye is -2.00 and I'm wearing my prescription glasses now 😩 And btw you look cute, doc 🥰💘
