Drew a classic style rage comic (in 2026 yes) about what it feels like to live with astigmatism.
Feels legitimately dangerous sometimes.

you cannot foresee all the ways #dyslexia #adhd #astigmatism #blindness are expressed in people. so if you are a developer of interactive text-based apps like blogs and *ahem* microblogs (like Mastodon), give people the chance to adjust their #uiux with their own stylesheets.
mastodon looks completely different on my browser than on android exactly because of what i can do with #Firefox and their #CSS addons like Stylish.
democratization of CSS must be an #accessibility priority.

An Update on Halos, Lasers, and User Hostility
A while back, I wrote a post about how dark-mode-only interfaces are a nightmare for people with astigmatism. It got a lot of traction, apparently striking a nerve. Well, I have an update: I got laser eye surgery.
I literally had my corneas reshaped by a high-tech space laser. My vision is now fantastic, and I can finally see without glasses. But guess what? The "halation" effect—that blurry, glowing halo around white text on a black background—isn't entirely gone. It's better, sure, but it's a fundamental part of how optics work. Even with bionic eyes, your beautiful, high-contrast, dark-only UI can still cause eye strain and headaches.
And this is where I need to update my original plea. My focus was on the tyranny of dark-only apps, but the problem is bigger. The problem is the tyranny of any single, forced theme.

What is #astigmatism? Why does it make my #vision blurry? And how did I get it? https://theconversation.com/what-is-astigmatism-why-does-it-make-my-vision-blurry-and-how-did-i-get-it-256235 #health #eyes #science #STEM

Edgar Wallace schrieb "Die Toten Augen Von London", in der Realität sind es "Die Blinden Augen Von Gilching". Die Werte an sich sind schon schlecht, die Kombination der Werte macht daraus eine exotische Herausforderung. Sieben Wochen hat es bis zu den neuen Linsen gedauert. Der Frust über die eigne Blindheit sitzt tief. Wenn ich einen Führerschein hätte, müsste ich ihn wahrscheinlich abgeben.

My eyesight test did not go as well as expected. The astigmatism in one eye has become much worse.
I need to go back in a year rather than two, and I also have a few other issues that may be 'normal/stable' and due to improved detection, but will need monitoring.
New lenses are going to be expensive.

@MiaWinter I guess it's safe to say it is normal here in the #Philippines since the early-90s. ^_^
Both with and without lenses.
I used to wear one in the early-90s, during my elementary years. I had to hide it from the family because they don't like the idea; and back then, it was believed it will damage your eyes. (Unless the lens is plastic.)
My fancy glasses was the Einstein model. Haha.
I now wear prescription glasses because #astigmatism. It was 2011 or 2012 when I switched to “real ones”. Many of my co-workers around that time also wore fashion eyeglasses. ^_~
Also, there are more reasons to wear zero-grade eyeglasses today, two such are computers and blue light. Some of the people I know wearing glasses are only wearing it for extra protection.

Has anyone got, seen, or can make up mock-ups of how points of light (or... very bright text on a dark background) can look to someone who suffers halos with astigmatism?
If yes to any of the above, may I use them in a talk?
Thank yooouuuu in advance!

Ugh. #Astigmatism corrections are THE WORST. Mine seem to float all over the place from day to day.It took FOUR tries to get my latest pair right, and even then some days they’re *still* blurry.
Astigmatism. Sucks.

I was going to post this last night but forgot to. Turns out I have #astigmatism, which means either my lenses or something else with my eyes is egg-shaped and not focusing the light properly so for me far things appear blurry.

New glasses have arrived! I can see clearly again.
This is what $1400 buys you.
Do you prefer 1 or 2?
I’ll do that again.

I was in grad school taking an optics class before I learned that people are NOT supposed to see like this at night. #Astigmatism

For anyone else into self-measurement of #eyesight, here's a tool I just made to help you figure out what the axes of your #astigmatism are (if present): https://jeremy.org/misc/astigmatism.html

Apparently getting #LASIK or #PRK while having #astigmatism is a recipe for a really bad time, can't believe this isn't wider know or talked about often

I’m #gobsmacked by how my #vision has deteriorated over the past year.
The need for #readers just so I can clip my fingernails is a real thing now. I remember when I was a kid, I was able to hold up money closely and focus on the little details. Now I can’t make out anything unless it’s at least two feet from my face.
Oh, and I have #astigmatism and things like lights have a halo around them now.
I was mostly OK losing half my hearing, but am having much more difficulty with my vision.

Here's what it looks like when someone with a severe #astigmatism uses #PSVR2 eye tracking to aim in #RezInfinite
It was kind of headache inducing because I was having trouble looking up at the higher targets - and there was even one target I missed completely because I just couldn't focus my eyes on it.
Great tech for people who have eyes that work! Probably not one I'll be able to use often. (Luckily it is very easily turned off - hooray for options)

Played around with #PSVR2 last night. It LOOKS great and reacts well!
It's not without its flaws, though. I have long hair and the rear head support keeps sliding upwards and I feel like it's going to pop right off my head. I'm not a fan of the included earbuds but I have good ones I used for PSVR1 that I'll try. My #astigmatism makes the eye tracking feature complicated, I have misclicked several menu items because my eyes moved at the last moment.
Oh, and my room is too dark.

I have #astigmatism (which btw, sounds like a dinosaur 🦕), and my vision has gone downhill thanks to #diabetes. Yesterday and today, my left eye throbbed and felt “glassy”; it feels better if I put some Vicks under my eye and make it water. I might have caught cold in it, I don’t know. Does this happen to anyone else? If so, what do you do for it?

@jeffeb3 It is definitelly possible, but there are more parameters in play as #astigmatism And also #LensThinning which will be more complex to calculate. Making simple lens is not as problematic i guess.

Thank you for this!
I have severe astigmatism and other eye stuff going on and this font really makes a difference!

Took 4 tries, but my amazing opthalmologist finally got the right contact lenses for me! They're not as good as my glasses, but fine for biking and other outdoor activities.
