I'm confused. I see short lines like a perfect + sign with my bare eyes. The lines are no longer than 3 times the size of each light. Does that mean I have it? They're much longer in the photos, and a lot more lines than just a plus sign. They're a lot different than what I see with my eyes.
Interesting. Since I was a kid my optician has recorded astig as part of the degree but never explained what it was. Now I know lol. Thanks for sharing.
