  • I have no sources to back this up but I’d say it’s a myth but with a tiny bit of misunderstood truth to it. When I got my lenses for astigmatism, it took a while to get used to them and not feel disoriented and I feel like its because my eyes had been so used to trying to work with the defect that it confused them when suddenly it was corrected.

    It took a month or so for my eyes to stop trying to correct the astigmatism on their own, but now if I switch back to my old lenses, the astigmatism is way worse because my eyes/brain aren’t applying their own corrections to it so it’s as if my eyes did get worse. So it’s sorta true but not really


  • Oh damn yeah that’s pretty similar to me except my optometrists were always really nice. I started wearing glasses a decade ago when my vision was still perfectly good enough to get by without glasses but I wore them anyway just since I liked things being even just a bit clearer.

    You should maybe find a different optometrist and get checked for astigmatism because you can get astigmatism corrective glasses for night driving even if you have otherwise perfect vision
