That looks like the windshield’s fault. Time to wash your car.
OP might also need glassed, my vision looked less worser than this but similar in the distance before I got glasses
This is me with specific glasses as well. Like every light streaks into the darkness no matter what. I had my ex drive at night. Now I take a bus or bike if I can.
Either your windows need cleaning / defogging, you got some shit coating on it
You could actually need glasses and I say this as someone who wasn’t aware they needed glasses for distance for most of their life, your vision looking like this especially with the the light halos and blurriness in the distance
Its called astigmatism
As someone with astigmatism, this is how some people see the world all the time.
If anyone is reading this thinking that the lines like in the OP are normal and everyone sees them, it is not. go see an optometrist.
My glasses prescription says I have some astigmatism but I don’t see this unless I squint with wet eyelashes. Maybe I’ve got the good kind of astigmatism :)
There’s three main types, vertically oriented, horizontally oriented, and irregular. What is depicted would be vertical.
I have an irregular astigmatism in my left eye, things just seem blurry, not in one direction specifically, just blurry. Lights don’t have this kind of bloom for me. My right eye is fine tho, so that’s fun.
Oh interesting, TIL
ITT people with astigmatism (whether they know it or not)
Can you get astigmatism from LASIK/PRK?
I never had this until I had PRK.
Nope but the starburst/halo thing comes from either Lasik (not sure what prk is) or astigmatism. I have both.
No idea. I am not a doctor and I do not have enough life experience with eyesight problems to know
Clean your glasses!
Astigmatisms can’t be cleaned away.
They actually sell polarized glasses for this purpose. I know because my eye doctor recommended it, but I went with regular glasses because clear vision is for the weak.
Interesting. My opthalmologist says I have astigmatism, and I’ve noticed my prescription glasses are definitely polarized.
clear vision is for the weak
🤣
It’s a joke, Joyce.
Oh fuck, how did you know my name?? 😳 This is spooky.
Ah an old-timey pop culture reference. Another spooky coincidence. Maybe that’s what my parents named me after 🤣 Guess I’ll never know, they’re no longer around to inquire of.
Their username, Almacca, can be rearranged to spell Am A Calc.
I wonder if theyre good at calculus.
Or have excess calcium deposits somewhere in their body.
Or if they’re a calculator.
Them being a calculator was my takeaway.
Not with that attitude
I don’t need to imagine.
im so glad i started wearing glasses in high school. i had no idea my vision was bad, but i saw this in the car when my parents were driving. i thought this was normal.
i always wondered if my vision would be as good as theirs when i got older because they could read the street signs. i did not own a smart.
U Uber or Lyft bro?
How accurate
As long as they stay vertical you’re fine.
Except for you know, the almost completely invisible truck in front of Op
I was thinking how to use a special application to the windshield to fix this - apparently I completely missed the point.
Me when people tell me I should use dark mode: How do you read the blurry letters?
Lemmy’s dark mode seems ok as long as the screen’s not too bright, I think the letters are gray and not white which helps.
Some of us just got used to it before cheap monitors could show black letters on a white background.
I’m a programmer with pretty bad astigmatism, and didn’t go to an eye doctor until my late twenties. I had never worn glasses before that, and had no idea how fucked my vision was.
Yet, I still have no problem writing code in dark mode without glasses. Even though the text is blurry, I’ve gotten used to it. I squint a lot, and idk if there are any negative consequences from doing that, but glasses tend to tire out my eyes faster, so I sometimes prefer the blurriness.
And like a driver can get used to things on the windshield, you can also tune out star bursts. I do agree they’re distracting but it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t drive safely with those.
Don’t worry, car collisions are only one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the US.
Who cares if you’re blind, you need to go places. Here’s your license. The other shiny dots are just NPCs.
Anything but public or active transit.
