    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!

    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.
  • 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

    Thank you for all your videos, they have been very helpful.
  • I love how all of these medical mysteries have something to do with food! Thank you so much for sharing these with us <3
  • Please do another live soon! I came into this session a bit late & never had a chance to have my question answered.
  • @jewelleryaddict
    Your chart is correct how we see. Have only in left eye. So I looked at both charts and closed my good eye and then both charts looked exactually the same as the chart you showed with astigmatism! So you are correct.
  • @roberthill2969
    This was very, very informative. I have a background in optics, so I was very interested in the subject after being recently made aware of my severe astigmatism. I thought everyone saw those weird streaks and comas on lights and the blurring of trees. Knowing more about the physical and physiological details has helped me a lot.
  • @denisemay3996
    Great video!!! Thank you!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤️
  • @dangriffin607

  • @TittiPotesta
    Hi! I have astigmatism and I wear glasses. Thank you for your explanation, so helpful!
  • @kgolem79
    Hello! Here for replay. Diagnosed 50 yrs ago w/left eye astigmatism. Now also right eye
  • @BellyLaugher
    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). This was so much more helpful than all the other material I'd read or even been told (ie, your eye is egg-shaped instead of round/youreye is too big🙄)➡thanks very much for this espec since I can imagine it took lots of time & energy to put it together!!
