Video 2: Test for Astigmatism

Video demonstrating the practical class activities for the PHSI2X08 Vision class. In this experiment we will see how to test for astigmatism and see a simulation of what astigmatism looks like using a lens. Due to COVID this class will be run online, for activities you can't perform your self you will be provided with example data to carry out the practical. This video will demonstrate the activities you would have carried out had we been able to carry out this class Face to Face.

    To be real, astigmatism is hella hard to measure if you have small numbers on them. Not to mention that in my 3rd world country doesn't really care about small astigmatism but it is there and you also need time to measure which angle with their special lenses.

    @@samiaislam9167 I suggest you can visit your eye doctor to measure astigmatism since it's hard to measure it with regular tools on eyeglasses shop The way I measure it is by watching this video and measure on each eye of which angle is the most blur; but this might be very inaccurate since you shouldn't do this on your own due to improper equipment. If you have astigmatism and short sighted it's even harder because they both apparently look the same on our eyes (for low magnitude of astigmatism)

    There's an even easier method, use a screen with a black background and a white square or dot in the middle, a shadow of the white figure will appear on screen and you'll be able to correct it way easier that way

    My life using dark mode on almost every single website in existence. Every test I've had post cataract surgery is black dots or whatever on a white background and they aren't nearly as pronounced as when it's a black background with white anything (text, cursor, blank space, etc). Almost every website that has a dark mode, I use dark mode. And it's obvious AF that I astigmatism going on post surgery. It was never visible before, only after.

    Hi raynac224, you are quite right, it is not the purpose of this video to actually test astigmatism. This video was made to wallk the students through a series of activities that they would be doing in a class looking at various tests of the visual system. The astigmatism test is just one of the tests they would be looking at. You can sort of see the effect when looking at the image in the video, but ideally there should be nothing between your eye and the test diagram you are looking at.

    if you have relatively small astigmatism like mine (Oculus Uniter/both eyes Cyl -0,25) it's super hard to notice them but I do know I have them; because sometimes I'm having trouble driving, especially at night at dark places with minimum lights, that source of lights in the distance seems kinda weird (like have these lines and halos), and it also affected my driving
