#47: Navigating the Intricacies of Astigmatism

People with astigmatism struggle to see bright lights at night due to blurred colors and a halo effect. Extreme sensitivity to bright lights in the dark can be particularly challenging for some. This person only realized their sensitivity wasn’t normal after their wife pointed it out.

They were out one night, and he brought up how the lit-up sign near them was way too bright to read. In a completely calm manner, his wife read the sign without a problem. That was the catalyst for our storyteller’s realization. People without astigmatism can see bright lights perfectly fine. Sometimes, life just isn’t fair.
