▲ 2 r/astigmatism
Hi, SO, my last eye exam was in February and from the eye scan I got and optometrist check, my eyes are healthy. Recently, however, Ive been having two issues.
- First issue: Late in the day and sometimes in the day, I have been seeing an offset shadow/double vision of letters (mainly white text on dark/black/gray background) that can be what I perceive as worse than normal. Its visible per eye but in different direction. Vertical down in left eye. South east down on right eye. (not sure if this makes sense).
- Second issue: an increased amount of glare in my right eye when seeing bright white light. It feels like my right eye is smudged more than left? And it can go away with blinking and/or eye drops sometimes.
To deal with this I will use eye drops and sometimes the offset will go away but other times it stays and it gives me anxiety unless I ignore it. I can get into more depth if needed. I called my optometrist and she didnt see concerned about the shadow/offset. I forgot to mention the glare though.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I do have diagnosed astigmatism and my glasses account for it. My prescription did not change much after my last eye exam. Ive also tried overhydrating and that doesnt change too much I think.
