my stigmatism

[amw]

It's almost Pi Day, which is when my mom passed away, and i am remembering my mom as i start to write this entry because she was the first person who taught me the word astigmatism. Because she had it. And i didn't. The context was a question about why her contact lenses had a line on the bottom and mine did not. Apparently people with astigmatism

I have astigmatism and can’t describe what it’s like either. Mind you, I have had it corrected for so long I don’t remember any other way to be. It mostly bothers me when I am reading because I also need bifocals now (ugh!). Maybe if you had one good pair for distance work and some decent cheaters for close up, that would help? Also, I had no idea contacts were a thing for astigmatism - not that they would help me because my eyes shrivelled up like prunes the last time I tried to wear contacts.
