You can’t convince me there’s people without the amazing starburst effect, just like you can’t convince me there’s people completely devoid of internal monologue.
Okay, pretend to have astigmatism for so long, it’s just the way the world is to you. Then make about a ⅛ to ¼ -assed effort of making a joke comment saying that you can’t believe other people don’t get so easily blinded by things.
don’t worry, i also have astigmatism that also doesn’t go away with my glasses, and i guess mine is just very mild because i find it very pretty if a little inconvenient. but also the biggest thing i drive is a bicycle, and i usually take the tram or bus so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
also yes i sort of accidentally intentionally missed the point. I’m sorry, I do that a lot.
I’m not an eye doctor - just a guy with astigmatism in both eyes… But my understanding is that astigmatism can happen in multiple ways because it is due to the eye being non-spherical, etc.
Meanwhile, there are limits to what glasses or contacts can do to correct this. Only so many ways a lens can bend light at one time.
I think that’s what leads to people seeing different things, even with glasses on, when it comes to visual distortions like starburst patterns around lights.
This is going to surprise a few of you. Left with and right without:
Wait, the lens flare effect is because of my astigmatism?
It’s because old movie cameras had astigmatism.
Well, some old movie cameras. That movie-makers decided to be passionate about.
Yep! I found out on reddit, lol.
That’s just the way things look. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there’s an infinity of human experience, and I can’t put myself in everybody’s shoes, but I can at least pretend

Mine doesn’t look exactly like the image on the left. It’s more of an X pattern.
And that’s WITH glasses or contacts.
Mine are more like crosses which leads me to ask, why are they different?
