I was told I had astigmatism when I was 8 years old but I had 20/20 vision until I was in my mid 30’s. I got glasses when I was 37 and it was mind blowing. I could see blades of grass and single leaves on a tree. I thought I could see until I put those glasses on.

@spitzer1113 Год назад

This is the best I've seen at showing examples of what Astigmatism looks like in the real world. The ghosting of letters (especially on a digital screen) is spot on!

@Jan96106 4 месяца назад

I wish I had known this about ten years ago. They gave me glasses with a high axis, and I could not wear the glasses due to the severe ghosting, but they told me the glasses were fine, that the axis shouldn't make a difference. And I paid a lot for the glasses. In later prescriptions the axis was lower, and I could see well out of them.

@shirleyharold1698 Год назад

Thank you Dr. Allen. I have astigmatism and had the cataract astigmatism correction, but still needed glasses. Now I understand the reason for still needing those glasses. Everyone I know, had their cataract surgery and don’t need glasses so I was very upset to find out I need glasses. I watch all of your videos and they’ve been very helpful

@Jules_Diplopia Год назад

So many times I have had eye doctors suggest that I have blurry vision, astigmatism. The ghosting is much more like my vision. It is not blurred but multiple images vertically in each eye. Ghosts yes but the 2nd image is 90% as dark, so hardly a "ghost" the 3rd and 4th are fainter. Oh and the different images spread out, "vertically" the more tired I am, or the more tired my eyes are. Never got a proper DX as optometrists seem panicked when I have multi images in each eye.

@dwalk3722 Год назад

I have wonderful astigmatism! I say life looks like a Monet painting with my glasses off. It has been quite the challenge as i have gotten older and now need multifocal lenses (progressive lens). Trying to do fine detail work like beading and hand sewing is challenging. Is there any hope!

@leecarlson9713 Месяц назад

Try reading glasses! I just finished making a hand sewn 1183 style dress ( the hem was 13 feet around), using my reading glasses. No eye strain at all. I have worn progressive lenses, but hated having to move my head to keep things in focus, so I went back to my trifocals.

@beckireid4208 Год назад

Wow I can see cleary no what others have been trying to explain to me, but never making this much sense as you have! Thank you!

@AngieFromCanada 10 месяцев назад

I went from both eyes being slightly far nearsighted to suddenly having Astigmatism . My friend had that for as long as I knew him but I never thought anyone with pretty normal eyes would suddenly get that without any injury or anything causing it. Obviously I knew nothing about Astigmatism . I first noticed something was wrong when I could not read my pill bottles. So I went to see the eye doctor and found out that I now have Astigmatism . Mine is side by side but also a little angle. Driving at night and during rain is hell for me and bright lights on cars.

@DoctorEyeHealth 10 месяцев назад

Fascinating! I wonder if the astigmatism came on due to corneal changes or lenticular changes inside the eye. Do you know if your doctor did a topography?

@kumyuenchoy5428 Год назад

Hi Doc does astigmatism changes day to day or different time of the day or night? on some days I see better and on some days I see worst due to my astigmatism.

I have astigmatism in one eye. The same eye that has a strangely shaped optic nerve. When I don’t wear my bifocals, everything looks super short, and I feel like a giant. I also get side-to-side ghosting. My son inherited it from me, but his makes everything look fatter and wider.

The powerpoint presentation was really good 29:43 peripheral defocus... that's the reduced lens method that endmyopia advocates for 48:30 Would be interested in your take on TBI vision rehabilitation

@DoctorEyeHealth Год назад

Thank you! I appreciate that. Peripheral defocus is not a new concept. There are some very fascinating ideas around different levels of defocus hitting on the superior retina vs the inferior and how that influences eye growth. I hope to have several videos this fall on Myopia and the theories. As far as TBI rehab, part of my residency at the VA included TBI rehab, so I have some experience with it. I was able to see many patients improve with vision therapy protocols.

Are you more likely to develop strabismus with astigmatism? I feel like one of my eyes wanders outwards but I can’t tell if it’s visible or if it just feels that way since that’s the eye with more astigmatism? I only feel it without my contacts in and when looking far away.

@mggt4684 Год назад

Can astigmatism develop from squinting your eyes ? I had not corrected myopia for most od my life, i didnt wear glasses or contacts, I was squinting my eyes 24/7. My doctor says thats likely why my astigmatism developed cause the angle of astigmatism matches eyelids or something like that. Is it really possible ?

@R3cce Год назад

Astigmatism can develop due to several reasons. I will name a few of them: 1) It can simply be due to genetics. If a family member has astigmatism, then there is a chance that you will have it aswell. 2) Frequently rubbing your eyes can put pressure on the cornea and cause astigmatism to develop. It is therefore not recommended to rub your eyes too often. 3) Like you already mentioned, pressure from the eyelids like squinting can cause astigmatism to develop

@mystic8raven51 8 месяцев назад

The genetic component is interesting. I recently got diagnosed with an astigmatism at age 26. I have Native American ancestry on both sides of my family. I’ve always said that my dad’s side had strong Native genes as my eyes will squint a lot when I smile or laugh to the point that they almost disappeared. I’ve even been asked if I have Asian ancestry because of my eyes. So it kinda makes sense to me. Although no one has told me what type of an astigmatism I got. I do need to visit the optometrist soon.

@tywald Год назад

I definitely have the "ghosting" effect (up and down), I don't notice long streaks of light though. Usually light sources are multiple round fuzzy balls (I also have myopia) that can be slightly oval shaped. One of my oldest prescription from when I was a kid only had -0.50D of cylinder but today it's -2.00D CYL. I wore contacts from ~2005-2008 and they were of the soft type. There was no dash on them so I assume they only were spherical ones. They were pretty small too and was monthly contacts (so I just put them back into the plastic container with the solution and the next morning I cleaned them off with a new solution from the bottle). It was pretty pricy iirc, ~$100 a month or so (my memory might be failing me, unsure if they came with one or multiple packages). Sometimes after extended periods of use it was difficult to take them out and occasionally I accidentally touched my eyeball directly thinking I had contacts in when I didn't. My speculation why my astigmatism got worse is I might have caused "wear and tear" of my cornea. If I continued to exclusively using glasses instead it might have not gone that much worse. I haven't worn contacts since 2008.

@DoctorEyeHealth Год назад

That is an interesting idea. Although I have not seen any published evidence of soft contact lens wear leading to worse astigmatism. I could imagine RGP lenses maybe having an influence in the cornea.

@tywald Год назад

Gotta be honest, I read that as RGB lenses :P

@dudleydeplorable5307 Год назад

@markiobook8639 11 месяцев назад

I went to USZ - Universitätsspital Zürich: Zurich hospital which is a university hospital with severe eye blurriness. I demanded lasik and the very elderly professor refused to do any work on my eye- he said vision problems were the result of neurological issues of the brain not adjusting to the change in image and reforming the image no matter the deformity of cornea. At age 80 he wore no glasses and was still an ophthalmologist surgeon. I had one exercise to do daily every day- hold a pin, or sharp pencil, or a hair as close to my eyes as possible (in front of nose) where I could still focus well on it - then slowly moving the small object away, always maintaining focus. Then return the object to in front of nose as close as still in focus. Do this for ten minutes. The other contraption was 500-20000mL soda bottle cap with a pin-hole made in It (by a heated up unbent paper-clip- the surgeon still smoked a pipe). I had to use this pinhole bottle-cap monocle all day: a piece of cardboard with a pin-hole punched in- I had to "wear" that single hole spectacle all day. My vision is now 20-20 from hypermy tropia and astigmatism- I also suffered trauma to eyes from chemical burns and strikes with wood and metal. Never had retina damage, thank God, and always wore safety welding glasses (no the safety "squint" and turn away as you spot in a tacking weld). People forget the brain interprets what the eye sees- sometimes part of vision correction si- i.e. corneal input and tomogrpahy.t

@kumyuenchoy5428 Год назад

Hi, does astigmatism varies during the course of the day and from day to day?

@R3cce Год назад

Astigmatism is more noticeable during the night or in low light conditions due to the pupil dilating and letting in more light. More unfocussed light rays enter the eye and the blur caused by astigmatism increases. I hope my comment make sense.

@BellyLaugher Год назад

I was informed I had Astigmatism 30+yrs ago by my eye MD, but not what kind; thinking it was probably the, "With the Rule" type, but will ask at next eye exam (changed MD dt relocation).

Hispanics are not genetically linked. Please keep the following in mind: Race and Hispanic origin are distinct and separate concepts. The labels "Hispanic" and "Latino" are not related to biology or skin color. Individuals of Hispanic and Latino origin do not fit into specific biological, anthropological, or genetic categories and can belong to any race, including white, black, or Asian. Any study that associates biological, anthropological, or genetic criteria with individuals of Hispanic origin is a systematic distortion of statistical outcomes, resulting from an unaccounted factor in its derivation.

@DoctorEyeHealth Год назад

That is a very wise thing to point out. I apologize for any misrepresentation of the published data. Perhaps the phrasing was my own wrongdoing. I may be ignorant of the differences so I appreciate you pointing this out. I think, perhaps my own confusion of the terms stems from my training, in that in school they teach/present patient cases such as " a 39 year old Hispanic male presents to your office...", which I ignorantly may have just adopted as a term to describe a group of people. I will educate myself more on this. thank you for bringing it to my attention.

@TheErazar Год назад

If you have astigmatism, is it normal to have something like a fish eye effect when wearing glasses? I don't have it with contact lenses

@DoctorEyeHealth Год назад

Glasses are more likely to induce a sort of "fish eye effect" due to the prismatic movements sometimes observed when looking through glasses with a higher prescription. Because contact lenses rest on the eye, they move with the eyes and so you don't see the same swim movements you can sometimes see with spectacle lenses.

@TheErazar Год назад

@@DoctorEyeHealth wow, thanks a lot for the answer, I actually did not expect it! The problem is that the distortions are constant. Local doctors say I should get used to them, but it's been years and I can still see them at all times. For example, my curved monitor seems flat with my glasses. And flat things are warped towards me. I wonder if the problem is with prescription or the glasses production. Or it's just the reality people with astigmatism have to live with. 🙄

@Dia.911 Год назад

Hi! Very informative video. I was diagnosed with astigmia in the last 2 years. I have myopia in both eyes (-3.25,-3.75)-0.25 in one eye and -0.50 in the other. (Cylinder) At the moment I have no luck even with the simple lens(no cylinder),because I see everything in a curve both vertically and horizontally. As a consequence I am constantly feeling sick and falling...Unfortunately I have been to a neuroophtamologist because of this, but so far everything seems to be fine. Could you or could you give me some advice? ( I have been wearing glasses for a very long time,but there has been no improvement and I can't feel the ground either - rising,sloping). The whole lens is bulging not just at the edges.It's like a big fat belly. I'm 35 now and I've had glasses since I was 12, I didn't have this problem before until 3 years ago. 😢

@octaviansorescu7427 6 месяцев назад

Hello Doctor! A problem to which I get no answer! I have astigmatism and I recently had a check-up, after which I opted for new glasses. The problem is that when I use the new glasses, the left eye (SPH-0; CYL-3,5; AX 15) does not have detailed distance vision! But it is corrected if I tilt my head towards the right shoulder, or turn the glasses clockwise! The Ophthalmological Cabinet says that the left lens is fitted according to the prescription (Ax-15°)!!! The old glasses have the same prescription, nothing different. The left lens from the old glasses has the same dioptre, the same Axis, but I don't have this problem with them, so much so that they are worn.... What is the mystery?!!! Thank you!

Thank you. I did find the videos discussing "what are cataracts & what causes them" and the video about "what steps to take before & after surgery." They were very helpful. I don't mind having to wear glasses after surgery, if I have to, I just want my eye to come out of the surgery as healthy as possible & don't want to spend money on a lens to correct astigmatism "if" the lens really does not benefit me at all. If a specialized lens will benefit me, & I still have to wear glasses, then I am okay with that. I just want to know all the "ifs," "ands," or "buts," so I can make the most informed decision. `i can't be the only person in baby boomer generation facing with this decision.

@aspidoscelis 8 месяцев назад

If you want a good visual representation of what vertical ('against the rule') astigmatism looks like, find a movie filmed with an anamorphic lens. Apocalypse Now is the first movie in which I happened to notice this. For instance, look at the out-of-focus lights in the bridge scene: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tvTIdU_Gvyk.html Of course the camera only has one "eye". Personally, I don't have much binocular vision, so I don't really know what the binocular view of astigmatism looks like, but I have vertical astigmatism in my left eye and this is exactly what it looks like in that eye. There's no discernible effect for things that are in focus, but as things go out of focus the blur is vertically stretched and this is most obvious for point sources of light, which become vertically elongated ovals. Of course, the experience is going to vary for different people, but that's what I get and it matches the output of an anamorpic lens. I also have horizontal ('with the rule') astigmatism in my right eye, and it's the same thing rotated by about 90 degrees.

@R3cce 11 месяцев назад

Yes it is possible

What causes astigmatism: What causes astigmatism? Astigmatism happens when your cornea or lens has a different shape than normal. The shape makes light bend differently as it enters your eye, causing a refractive error. Doctors don't know what causes astigmatism, and there's no way to prevent it

I have fairly low astigmatism (.50 both sides), when I read from a screen the letters seem like they’re dancing, now I know it’s the shadow from the ghosting. When I watch ballet in the front row seat I have a hard time having a clear mental picture of their faces. I can make out their facial features but the edges are all fuzzy. It’s quite annoying, I have a fairly flat nose bridge so I have a hard time wearing glasses and wish there would be more choices in contact lenses.

lazer barrage to treat retinal vein occlusion changes the shape of the eyeball and causes a form of astigmatism -- manifests as double vision because each eye shows a different point of focus.

i was thinking, my perscription from 10 years ago was quite different to my new one. could that be due to new more precise tec or can they really go from say 1.7 to 3.5 in 10 years

I use multiple focal contact lenses and they're great and soft compared to my girlfriends glass contacts that she pays crazy amounts of money

wow that was interesting. I have astigmatism, absent chiasm, a slight albanism and optic nerve/disc hypoplaisia from Birth.

If there was a way for glasses to not distort the actual size of the eyes and face that would be great, because I think most people are simply not comfortable with them for this reason and not all of us can wear contact lenses for various reasons. So many technological advances and there are still no glasses with which you feel like yourself (I mean high diopters, of course).

I am cutrently testing contact lenses and none of them Works. They always unfocus or my vision is never good. My optician says it is because I have quarter pts of astigm.and lenses cannot be precise enough. I am testing lenses but so many are always moving on my eye I cannot see focus. He tried to compensate the astigmatism by over correcting myopia causing fatigue pain... I tried 3 pairs and all of them were bad.

Does astigmatism cause floaters?

@EthanF. 11 месяцев назад

No, they don't but they can make them more noticeable.

I had contact lenses for astigmatism but the contact itself made my lazy eye more prominent. The lense was shaped like a football which reinforced the football shape to my eye.

@lamecommenter615 10 месяцев назад

Useless from my viewpoint, because you constantly say “high level” or other GENERALIZED “level” without SPECIFICS for your viewers like the darned EXACT DIOPTER NUMBERS SO VIEWERS CAN RELATE their request for standard lens, toric specialty lens! Please, use diopter numbers that viewers can relate to their eyes!

I see the left side clearly, and the right blurred, do I still have astigmatism? My prescription glasses give me migraines and that makes me nauseous.

@prakashn2398 Год назад

I had undergone C3R a year back. But still the vision in not clear, is there any solution for this?

@rrrosecarbinela Год назад

Yet another question coming your way! I have pronounced astigmatism in my left eye. The last perscription I got is perfect for the right eye, but the left is still blurry. I was told that "the eyes are supposed to work together" and that the blurriness was acceptable. I worry that I wouldn't pass a driving vision test if made to cover my right eye and read tiny letters -- my state allows for only one mistake when they make you re-take the eye exam. Do I have any recourse? Should I go to a different eye clinic?

@Czechontheway 2 дня назад

If you do have a stigmatition are you required to use glass contacts.

@coco99ca Месяц назад

I see worse with my contacts than my glasses and was told it's normal. How do I get contacts that aren't expensive and are equal to my glasses?

@mforya5166 8 месяцев назад

Ive seen people with dry eyes even before the invention of computer. Therefore to diagnose each case in 1 great big excessive screen use bubble is negligent at least. How about genetics or work environment or bad air quality in home etc. etc.

@ElliottRedwine-i9e 15 дней назад

I have astigmatism stuff like screens have a slight aura around it and I get the starbursts I always thought this stuff was normal

@nidarahman2305 8 месяцев назад

I am 39 and i think i have astigmatism, since i can see all its not really blurrint but everything has an ouline, so i cany read things in distance otherwise i dont have any problem except for when i am using computer i feel like the light hurts my eyes more now and i have to keep squinting my eye, i will get my eyes checked soon. I hope they give me correct prescription ans i get correctly made glasses. Because i get nausea with even cheap sunglasses that are not consistent.
