What Does A Person With Astigmatism See?

Ғылым және технология

I've always wondered what does a person with astigmatism see in their vision. So I decided to test it out. I attached special astigmatism lenses to my camera and walked around to see how things were. I was shocked on just how blurry things became!

    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.

    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?

    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 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?

    Having a lot of nearsightedness like that can make things more blurry in the distance than having a similar amount of astigmatism. One major difference between nearsightedness and astigmatism is what you noticed as well, if you hold things close enough, you'll be able to see them.

    These look like someone just needs glasses. Astigmatism has much more lateral distortion than shown here with smaller areas with soft focus in the field.

    That's a good observation. When wearing glasses for astigmatism, we move our eyes around. As the eye moves laterally around, it shifts away from the optimal astigmatism correction in the center of the glasses and things can become more distorted. Unfortunately I wasn't able to replicate that here since the astigmatism lens was attached to the camera.
