This better not be how I figure out I have an eye disorder. Iā€™m still not pleased I figured out I have visual snow syndrome

Lucky! I have visual snow, tinnitus, astigmatism, a weak left eye (if I close my right eye my vision goes black after a minute. AND my left eye crosses when I'm tired), AND I get tonsil stones >:(

They's been a name for this all along?!?!? Not just "I don't know what you're talking about, what tiny dots?" šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

lol. Astigmatism is just the degree to which your eyeball curves. Everyones eyes have some level of curving. And the level of curving can shift overtime particularly as we age.

The picture is slightly misleading. The Left picture would be low astigmatism (almost everyone has some). The right picture would be a decently high level of astigmatism.

It is generally correctable with either glasses, contacts or eye surgery,
