cylindrical eyes - #28577
I am really worried about my eyes and don’t know who to turn to. A couple of months ago, my friend mentioned something about ‘cylindrical eyes’ and I just brushed it off. But lately, I’ve been noticing my vision isn’t as clear, and my eyes feel like they strain more than ever, especially while looking at screens. I mean, I do work long hours on my computer, but I thought that was normal. Anyway, when I Googled ‘cylindrical eyes’, I found out it might be related to astigmatism or something like that, but I'm not sure. I went to see an optometrist and they mentioned my cornea shape but didn't dive deep into the whole cylindrical eyes thing. Just last week, I was at a dinner party, and my friend, who has cylindrical eyes, started sharing her experience with glasses and how they helped her. It made me wonder if that’s the same thing I might need. Could this cylindrical eyes thing get worse? Do I need to worry about it, or should I just get glasses and hope everything gets better? What's the real deal? I'm kinda confused and anxious about it all. Appreciate any advice!
