Despite having astigmatism my entire life, I have literally only just learnt what it actually means and how it affects vision, compared to myopia, which is easy to understand.

All any optician has ever said when explaining astigmatism is “it means your eye is shaped like a rugby ball” so I thought it was just a cause of short-sightedness rather than causing other visual problems in its own right.

Gratifying to finally know. But I remain jealous of everyone who can get their lenses thinned and have cool wire frames rather than being consigned to thick plastic frames and still have this much stick out, damn itpic.twitter.com/XTExTSBtUO

Wait, this has blown my teeny lil mind, so the left is not what everyone sees and some people see the right?

I have massive astigmatism, without glasses (or contacts) the world is literally an entire blur.. I love wearing glasses (contacts are uncomfortable), but mine feel like they are about 0.1 mm thick in the centre and around 50cm wide at the edges.

Woah! I’ve had one since I was a kid and I always just thought it meant I had wierd shaped eyes and had to wear massive glasses

SAME. Every optician who’s explained astigmatism to me has just said “rugby ball shaped eyes” but never what it does. I didn’t realise it had actual symptoms, just assumed it was a cause of myopia.

I thought everyone saw like that and that's just what lights looked like in the dark?!

Absolutely stunned to learn it too.

And we can't do those flipping magic eye things.

No we can't and people get so frustrated with us when we can't!
