Having just recently gone to the optometrist with my kids, and deciding to
get a check-up myself, I discovered I have mild astigmatism (unequally curved
eye optics that give a slight blur). I've had it all my life it sees, but
only when the optometrist put me through the paces, switching all those
lenses around in that contraption they put in front of your eyes, did I
really notice how much better my vision could be.
Yeah, me too. I've been prescribed Johnson & Johnson "Accuvue Toric"
contact lenses, which have astigmatic correction. Only useful for
mild to intermediate astigmatism, though: if it gets too bad, the
lens material ends up being too thick to be comfortable in the eye.
(I mention this because astigmatism often worsens with age)
