    I wear glasses and I still see this at night

    Does that mean something is wrong with my eyes other than astigmatism

      As a long time glasses wearer, no it does not mean there is necessarily something wrong with your eyes. Glasses can cause visual aberrations. Lights at night always look a bit like puffballs to me no matter my prescription. Not sure if it’s just because my prescription is a bit stronger than most or what. Something about contact lenses makes this go away entirely, but I prefer wearing my glasses for comfort.

      Hey buddy try scheduling an eye appointment next time funds are available, would be a natural next step (at least in an equitable world)

        Funds aren’t a problem, it’s actually thinking about it and doing it.

        So I guess I’m going to get an appointment scheduled lol

          Astigmatism can worsen over time. If you’re having trouble, it’s probably time to update your prescription

      Prescription glasses expire as our eyes are constantly changing. You should get your eyes checked every two years minimum.

        My prescription stopped changing in my late 20s.

        I’m almost 40 so I know that time is coming to an end.

          Yep, that’s when the nearsightedness and farsightedness start kicking in. That’s the age I had to get my first bifocals.🤓

            Yeah, my optometrist didn’t even sugarcoat it - went right to “and of course these will be progressive lenses”. WHAT?
