20/10 vision in one eye, 20/13 in another, no astigmatism. Blue LEDs in clocks when viewed at night look completely fucked up.

20/10 vision in one eye, 20/13 in another, no astigmatism.
Blue LEDs in clocks when viewed at night look completely fucked up.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoI’ve never met anyone without some astigmatism; especially, people with other vision impairment. Astigmatism is the number one cause of night blindness which is what you described.
- ubercore 5y agoI don't think it's night blindness. I have the same problem, with and without glasses (I have astigmatism).
- tcmb 5y agoHN is so funny. 'I have no astigmatism.' -- 'Sure you do!'
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoBecause nearly every person has some amount of astigmatism.
- borski 5y agoSure, but presumably the parent has been checked by their eye doctor and indeed, not everyone has it. Signed, a dude with very slight astigmatism :)
- perl4ever 5y agoThere were three people involved in that exchange, not two, assuming nobody's using multiple aliases... crdrost described their vision problems, jbluepolarbear said "you have astigmatism", techrat popped in and said "[I have] no astigmatism" and jbluepolarbear made a more general statement that most people do. I'd assume techrat doesn't know anything about crdrost's vision either.
- throwasquirrel 5y agoIt's right up there with 'I've been clinically diagnosed with ADHD by a qualified psychiatrist and this medication has improved my life tremendously' -- 'There's no such thing, the medication doesn't do anything and you just need to mediate more, have you tried mindfulness?'
- techrat 5y agoYou're precious. Why don't you tell me what else my eye doctor has never diagnosed me with?

- jbluepolarbear 5y ago9 in 10 people have some affliction of astigmatism. Astigmatism is just that your eye isn’t perfectly spherical. What does your eye prescription say in the cyl and axis fields, that’s your astigmatism correction.
- techrat 5y ago'eye prescription'? Bruh. Read the comment of mine you replied to. 20/10 and 20/13 vision. I don't need prescriptions.
- washadjeffmad 5y agoThat's like saying you can run a 3 minute mile so you don't have a shoe size. This whole thread is silly.
- Talanes 5y agoShoe size is an inherent byproduct of having feet of a certain dimension. A prescription has to be prescribed. If we're doing dumb analogies, it's like you're trying to insist a homeless man must have an address.
- salawat 5y ago...Actually, that's a real problem in the financial services sector. You can't satisfy KYC requirements without an address of record. Off topic, but I'm jumping around a bit tonight.
- naikrovek 5y agopro tip: don't tell other people about their own experiences unless they ask you, and you're a professional.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoPro tip: nope
- pengaru 5y ago> In Europe and Asia, astigmatism affects between 30 and 60% of adults. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoI can’t actually verify that number presented in that paper. I’ve looked and that stat is attributed to that paper, but there’s no evidence that the paper said that. Plus the paper is pay walled so unverified.
- pengaru 5y agoConsidering the obvious inability for anyone to reliably know the astigmatism status of everyone they meet, not only is your anecdata unverifiable it's completely absurd.
