Still have questions about your astigmatism? Let us know down below and we would love to help you out!
I have a prescription written in a way where It's hard to understand. The way it's written differs from the standard charts you show in your videos; in fact there's no chart and what I see is two lines of letters and numbers. I'm unsure which numbers represent an astigmatism. Is there any way you'd be able to help?
Ive always wore toric lens well went to a new eye doc he writes a diff toric prescription I told him my past vision so the degree he didn’t go up but -25 in each eye but I still cnt see so I went bk I was barley seeing with them so he wrote normal contacts I can see better until I need to focus on something
He said my stig was t that bad yes it is I cnt even where colored contacts bc my pupils r footballs Im over it bout to call another eye place hate spending more money
I was just diagnosed with astigmatism and nearsightedness with my right eye having the astigmatism and the left one nearsightedness. I think my astigmatism is very mild since it’s only a -1. The same with my nearsightedness that’s only a -1.25. This is my first time wearing glasses and I’m in my late 30s so I got away without wearing glasses for a long time. I thought I saw normal for most of my life so I was quite shocked to see that I didn’t so when I first put my first pair of eyeglasses I was like “Am I supposed to see like this?!” “Is that row of glasses supposed to look that close to me?! It definitely threw me off mentally. Is that common? It definitely felt weird at first to wear glasses, but after two weeks I got used to them and I actually like wearing them because I see better.
Hey doc please Answer my four-year-old just got diagnosed with -2.25 astigmatisum every thing else in normal range in both eyes they said she'd probably grow out of it but still needs glasses now. What are the chances of her growing out of it?
I have it in both eyes. Barely found this out at age 22. When i put on my first pair, I literally teared up cos life is way better seeing properly. I didn't even know i had the problem! My family told me my vision was fine all my life and as a kid I simply believed em over my own ... well. EYES. lol
That's a wild story! Sorry to hear that you went for so long without proper vision! I've seen my fair share of emotional reactions with first-time correction experiences. It's amazing how life changing it is to go from poor vision to corrected vision! I'm glad to hear that your among us glasses-wearers now!
I have astigmatism in both eyes too
whats your number in both eyes and which axis?
@@negativepunk9638 under -1 but my axis is 178 / 15 or some shit
@@BeardnScars mild astigmatism sucks. I have -0,25 for both eyes and didnt know for years. The only thing I know is that I slightly have night blindness that I'm having a bit of trouble of driving at night. It gets worse when the road has minimum lights and the source of lights is like far away
I'm 21 and I hadn't gotten a eye test since I was 17 and I just got my glasses today and the difference was unbelievable I had no idea that my eyesight was that blurry
I have perfect vision but wear glasses because of the astigmatism. That’s just crazy.
Here is my prescription
Right
Sphere +4.25
Cylinder -3.5
Axis 13
Left
Sphere +5.0
Cylinder -5.0
Axis 166
And my glasses is very thick and make my eyes and the side of my face so big, i hope someday that i can have that thin lenses! 🙂
No doubt you'll appreciate the thinness of a hi index lens material JP! Give it a try!
th-cam.com/video/nY1b4WcuhMI/w-d-xo.html
I totally understand how u feel, BCOS I had very thick lense
I recently found out at 23, it’s mild though but the glasses help so much
That's amazing! Must have been a shock putting them on the first time. 🕶🔥
I've got Myopic Macular Degeneration. My Retina Specialist said it was more than likely caused by astigmatism. I might add, I started wearing glasses at 6. Diagnosed with Wet Macular Degeneration at 24/25. Now, at 60, I had a small bleed 3yrs ago. I also have a macular pucker and cataracts in both eyes that are inoperable.
Wow,... I feel so bummed for your situation. I'm just now having bad eyesight and I'm suffering. I don't want to wear glasses.! ... but I can't see, everything is so blurry. Do you wear glasses? Do you have astigmatism?...
I was told I have,... and myopia too. I don't want to go outside anymore. How can I accept this change?.. im 62.
I had Lasik Jan 2020, my right eye is slightly more blurry when I cover it up. When I use both eyes it isn't so noticeable however. I am scared though, should I worry about this?
Great video! My eyesight was terrible... I think -.11 and -.14 so I got Verisyse lens implants in each eye over a dozen years ago. Lift changing and I now see 20/40. I wear eyeglasses after about ten years not needing them at all which was fantastic. I have trouble at night now due to awful astigmatism and I use drops in my eyes called alphagan which reduces the glare. They are a bit expensive but thankfully I only use it occasionally. Worth every penny.
Very interesting, Donna. Thanks for sharing!
My vision isnt blurry but I do see a line when I see at light
great info mate , just found out that 1 in 3 people in the USA have astigmatism and 1 in 2 have atleast some level on astigmatism (usually goes undetected). now one thing i wanted to ask is...can astigmatism be detected in a normal eye test? and why not? because one of my friends just discovered he has it even though he had 20/20 vision throughout his life. same for me. I've always had 20/20 vision but now maybe i need glasses. even though i can read till line 9 in the snellen chart (which is still 20/20) but I'd like to have my young vision back. thanks for the info again :)
25 yrs ago received glasses for this, lost the glasses a few MTHS later, oh well. I've only learnt today why raining nights have almost killed me a few times, I thought everyone had this issue. So, could be much worse if your not aware.
Welp that could explain why I was told ray ban could not do my frames an add their logo to the sunglasses I ordered. No idea why but oh well nothing can change that. Such is life!
Just got my new glasses and if I close my left eye my vision is soooooo blurry in my right that I pretty much can't see anything... I would contact my optometrist except that they are closed for the weekend🙄 I want to know if I should "push through" the recommendation adjustment period or just scrap it and go without until Monday🤦🏼♀️
I would imagine that before eyeglasses, astigmatism would have been quite a disability. I know that I could NEVER function without eyeglasses. The entire world without eyeglasses, for me, is like a Monet painting. I would have constant migraine headaches because I can't see anything unless it is a few inches from my face - and trying to focus at that distance causes head pain.
I have eyesight like that you mentioned.. now.
I'm in denial. I know I can't see. Everything is very blurry
But I can't accept it. Did you go through this. 😮
I'm starting to get a little bit concerned about the amount of people who are just driving around without glasses who need them
Yeah it’s bad at night
I have a mild perscription, but i put them on first time im like wow day and night difference with and without glasses
The magic of prescription 🙌💯
4:22 Hi. I have been diagnosed with mild astigmatism in my left eye. Symptoms were blurred vision, headache and constantly twitching eye. My eye has been twitching since June 2022 (it is now Feb 2023). My optician told me that the astigmatism is causing my twitching eye and that wearing glasses all the time instead of only when I am driving will stop the symptoms in 2 months. Do you find that glasses help the twitching eye symptom that occurs with astigmatism? (The 2 months is up and the twitching continues although the headache and blurred vision have gone thank goodness 😊)
Irregular astigmatism could glasses help and what level level of Irregular astigmatism could eye glasses help...kindly tell me.
Good afternoon, i have -6.00 astigmatism. Can this cause Kerataconus? Have you had patients with -6.00. What if you are middle aged 45 , csn your astigmatism pass -8.00 in the future? By your interpretation if its .25 per year increase. What predicament could i be in in the next 15 years?
I got -3 cyl in one eye and -3.25 cyl in other eye with spherical -0.25 in both eyes but i don't see anything blurry I just can't Able to read far letters . But with left i see blurry but with both eyes i see everything but i can't able to read far letters . My visual acuity results is 20/100 and 80/100
My astigmatism is CYL OD -8.5 and OS -7.5. I always have problems getting new glasses. They don't usually get the prescription right on the first try.
Hello! Indeed, with that high of a cylinder correction, it becomes more difficult for Drs to accurately prescribe the right diopter strength. on the first try. It's not uncommon for people with strong astigmatism to go back for a recheck to confirm or adjust the prescription strength within a few days or weeks of their initial visit and oftentimes results in a remake if glasses were already made to their initial Rx. Flat four base frames with no wrap and low lens volume are preferred for the best chance of success for those struggling with high cyl corrections. Click on the link for an example:

I am short sighted I have paid to have toric lenses as my astigmatism very bad. the surgeon can not do any more for me as the astigmatism keeps changing can u help in any way.
Hi sir, I've 0.25 cylindrical power with 180 axis both eyes. Is it bad? Hope you answer.
Normal.
1.74 prescription(polarized mirrored) sunglasses with above -5diopters are crazy thick with a semi large frame. A 1/3 of an inch i think lol
I probably will look into the smaller frames you've mentioned in other videos, i just feel they don't fit my aesthetics.
With -3.50 Cylinders ^^
We feel you! Here at SportRx we come across this problem all the time! Try for a frame with a lens that is smaller in diameter which should significantly cut down on overall edge thickness. For high minus prescription strengths that include cylinder, more lens volume will ultimately result in a thicker lens especially near the outer edges.
Do transition glasses affect Astigmatism or do you recommend having transition glasses if you have Astigmatism?
No, they don’t affect astigmatism . i have astigmatism and wear glasses with transtition plus bluelight! :)
I found out I had some astigmatism when I went for my first eye exam (age 48) in July 2022. I never knew I had it as mine is relatively mild (.50 diopter in each eye) The only time I notice it, is at night I see starbursts off of lights. I am an avid shooter, and my biggest issue with astigmatism is looking through red dot optics. I could never see a clean dot, but would see a comma instead.
I don't know if astigmatism gets worse with age, as I am experiencing Presbyopia and apparently manifesting hyperopia with it....
Do Endmyopia and yours is so low anyways
Try converting it to sph by wearing -0.25 sph and then do active focusing to clear that up
I just found out at 28 I have it at -4.-3,5. Guess it's pretty high but I never knew something was wrong cause I had no reference. I never knew that normal people could see that well. I felt a tiny bit like those people seeing color for the first time when I put on the glasses.
That's only a bit stronger than Tyler's! How amazing it must have felt to get to see so well for the first time. It's incredible you went so long without any correction!!
hmm this is interesting and a bit confusing. I have astigmatism or I was told I did but the symptom I have it not being able to look at specific patterns with out my eyes hurting. It is the same for my mom and grandma. Also not just patterns but one color on another is very hard to look at like green text on red. It is really hard to look at and the green actually looks 3d and feels like it is coming at you.
Oddly, my new bough glasses don't cover it well when I'm watching TV, it's still there above and below the text a bit...
i have astigmatism and i have a normal life, but i take care my eyes, i don,t watch tv more than 3 meters , don,t watch pc, and cellpone much time, and i put down the light of it, every time when i go out side i use sunglasses, and i don,t force my eyes to read or anything, when i was 12 years old, doctor made me an exam of my eye graduation and in that age i had 2,5 and 3,5 now i,m 53 years old and my eyes graduation is 3,5 in both eyes, it means i,m great, learn to live with that and take care your eyes, natural and no pills, or surgeries,
Hi, how would you know if you are wearing the wrong prescribed eyeglasses for astigmatism?
Best way to find out is to talk to your Doctor about your personal Rx correction and what frames would best accommodate such.
Hi my age is 19.5 and I have astigmatism of -1D on left eye and -1.5D on right eye is it mild or severe and can I correct it .
Hi Abhijeet! That's a fairly mild cylinder strength and can easily be corrected with prescription lenses. 🧐👍
What is the tolerance for axis. Ex prescription.50 but actual in lens after made .62
Hi Allen! There is no tolerance for axis when it comes to prescription strength. The .62 is the digitally optimized prescription strength of the lens. This is very common to see. Most Dr's will write out a prescription strength to quarters of a diopter (.25 .50 .75 1.00) but the machines crafting the lens will take into account other factors such as lens curvature, frame wrap, vertex distance, OC height and optimize the lens strength to suit the wearer's needs.
Hii, i have -1.50 cyl in right eye can this be cured by any exercise or diet please tell
No
Knew i had an issue in one of my eyes. Just got it checked at 38y.o. one eye is -0.5 other is - 2.5
I have astigmatism of -0.50 and -0.75 and was just given Toric contacts. I have that exact issue you described with them rotating and bothering my vision. Can I get a regular contact instead of the toric with a mild astigmatism?
Nope, regular lenses shifts when we blink which wilk not be good if you have astigmatism. That is why I stopped using contact lenses and wear glasses
Without my glasses, i see better with one eye closed than with both open and my vision is distorted. Not sure if thats because of astigmatism
There could be a few factors involved. Check with your optometrist, they should be able to uncover the source of the problem and provide solutions.
i see a red led as a molacule of cycloheptane
I just got a prescription for mine it’s -.75 right and . -25. Which is considered mild but man it bothers me a lot trying to drive at night the lights and white lines even blur sometimes
Hey Shannon! An Anti-Reflective coating will help reduce the eyestrain and glare caused by oncoming headlights when driving at night.

@@sportrxeyewear thanks
I have cyl of about minus 2 in each eye
There's LOTS we can do with that cyl power Vic!
Left eye is almost a 9 right eye a 4 so my left is bad
What about moderate? You call it "medium".
If it's not a big deal, why can't most optometrists correct it? Last 3 doctors didn't have a clue how to correct the double image and ghosting.
Hi there! Most optometrists can correct for mild to severe astigmatism, but what causes double images and/or ghosting isn't limited to just refractive errors. Other factors could potentially be at play as well. You may want to consult an Ophthalmologist or neurovisual professional to determine the type and cause of your double vision, and to get treatment started right away. Hope this helps!
Double vision and eye burning after using phone +0.50 sph in bot and cyl -0.25 and -0.50
This video has some good info but was too long winded and he never explained about "lenticular" astigmatism. So it answered some but not all of my questions.
if strong is -3.00cyl, then what is a -6.25 cyl right and -6.75 cyl left, also I'm having a hard time finding companies that would make it for less than $300 bucks
Hi,... astigmatism, myopia 😢, this is all new to me. I'm very worried. Can I ask you somethings about your prescription and you're eyesight? 🫶
@@klanderkal sure ask away
@RaquelFinkelstein Awww Thank you..!
I'm afraid.
I know I need to get glasses to see.
* I went last month, he said I had myopia, and Astigmatism -3.0 and 1.25 cyl.? The glasses they made were Horrible. Everything was so warped and distorted, and still had blurriness just past 3 yards? I refused them. I have nothing now.
Do you wear glasses with Astigmatism correction?.. do you have near sighted ness? I couldn't walk with them on! I don't know what to do now....😕
Thought I might check for laser cataract surgery?, .. or ? I just can't accept that my eyesight went blurry.
I know I have anxiety. It's caused so much uncontrollable stress. Did you get this way?
I stressed so badly, I couldn't sleep... then I lost my career job.
Now I'm completely devastated.
I don't know how I can live with blurry eyesight. ....
Since you mentioned you're eyesight has strong Astigmatism,.. I was hoping you can help me.
I don't know how to handle this...😢🫶💔
@@klanderkal dear friend, first take a big deep breath, is going to be OK, if you never have ware glasses with astigmatism correction the warping view is normal and will go away after a few hrs to a few days of wearing them, the optician should have told you this, I have been wearing glasses with astigmatism correction since I was 5 years old, and too have experienced the warping effect when my prescription jump a bit, my last pair were at -6.25 cyl OD(right eye) and -6.75 cyl OS (left eye) with -3.50 sphere on both eyes, so you can imagine how bad my eyes are, the good thing is that as you wear your glasses astigmatism stabilize as some point, you mention you were at -3.00 in 1 eye and +1.25 on the other, LASIK can fix it is considered high but fixable, mine are completely out of range for LASIK.
Lol I have astigmatisms of +4.00 in both eyes plus hyper myopia in one I can’t see
Bruh same, have hyperopia +6, its getting better as i am growing and i have astigamtism +0,5. I got astigmatism when i was 10 in one eye and one year later in the other. I was told that the astigmatism might dissapear later since it is a low number but it still sucks i cannot see anything😡
lol.. most wouldn't do mine for contacts.. -14 and -15 respectfully.. Im blind lol!
HI Rachel! That indeed is a strong Rx, BUT we still might be able to help! Give us a call to speak with an optician about options or shoot us an email 💪

What about if you're always had it since childhood.
Then we have a solution! 🤓
CYL 10.5 (R) 8.25 (L). I'm screwed.
Hey Tim! Is that a + or a - Rx? Either way, give us a call to talk to a live optician as we may have a few options to accommodate your Rx strength!

Guess mine is mild at -0.25 for each eye
Very mild, yes 👍
ANYTHING greater than 2 diopters.
A 1 diopter, just use SPHERICAL EQUIVALENT.
I have cyl -7 in right...very disappointing
i really just want to see the city at night WITHOUT lines everywhere, like bruhhh
😢 same here. My eyesight just went bad in October... im scared, I know I have to get/wear glasses... but I can't accept this. Are you at this point also.?😮
Can computer use cause or worsen astigmatism?
No
Holly duck u say zero
Sending a heart doesn't answer my question.
HI! Here's the exact response to your initial question (copy and paste):
'Hi there! Most optometrists can correct for mild to severe astigmatism, but what causes double images and/or ghosting isn't limited to just refractive errors.

@@sportrxeyewear Very good! Thank you!!
Of course! 🙌
+9.00 add +2.00 🤪
‼️😲that's strong!
This is a really terrible video, astigmatism is the degree to which your eye ball is not round. Why not one mention of this?
I agree. Hi, do you have astigmatism?,.. and forced to wear glasses?...... can I ask you about astigmatism?....
I’ve had astigmatism since I was born, in both eyes and when I went to the eye doctor last she said my astigmatism was “moderate” and I’m like “oh. That’s doctor speak for severe” 🥲
Whether you have moderate to severe astigmatism, SportRx can provide solutions for your optical needs! 🤙
