Yes, but it's being nicely completed and corrected by panda friends, adding very interesting comments.

How dare you doubting some tikfuck professional? They CLEARLY know what they're talking about, and Bored Idiot is a learning platform to spread the knowledge. (/s *facepalm* I hate tiktok so much)

I second your description, Cloudy Puff. Did you happen to see a different BP article that showed the "light lines" people with astigmatism get? Apparently not knowing was bothering my subconscious and I didn't even realise. There was surprising sense of relief that it actually is a known phenomenon and it has an explanation https://www.boredpanda.com/with-without-astigmatism-vision-comparison/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

Thank you! I have commented on a few different posts and websites trying to explain this (mostly where people say stuff like "legally blind? They shouldn't be allowed to this or that" Legally blind does not mean they're blind as a bat (also bats aren't blind, they have very good vision actually, but that's a different story)

The article didn't say it was the exact same for everyone. This is to get the gist, for all-seers to basically get some idea of what it looks like for most people with this or that condition. The majority with a certain condition will see this/that or something similar. It's not an exact science. It could be different for him, for her, for you, for god knows who, but it does give a good idea of what certain vision impairments (might) look like Personally I think they did very well on this article. They did the research and to the best of their abilities showed what certain conditions might look like

My sister has 10% vision, so she's had to use workarounds. My mother was pretty determined to make her succeed in school. She instructed her to explain her needs to the teacher at the beginning of the school year (such as sitting at the front, being allowed to leave her desk to get closer to the blackboard, etc.), and that in exchange for accommodation, she should work hard.

Some are easily corrected with glasses/contacts. I have astigmatisms in both eyes, I cannot see anything with detail past a few inches of my face but I've noticed my eyes try to compensate by being sensitive to light & color. Light sensitivity isn't fun but having a large range in the color spectrum is cool!

I heard one interesting perspective from a colour-blind man: he can appreciate the visual aspects of old movies, while his friends groaned about black-and-white movies. Granted, it also reflects their lack of aesthetics - and possibly their ages. I'm not colour-blind, but I grew up with black-and-white television and cameras, so I can appreciate black and white. The first colour TVs were a letdown because the colours didn't look realistic.
