So I recently got new glasses for the first time in my life, I have astigmatism so I see lights like in this image. The thing is, my new glasses have not fixed this issue. There is of course a great improvement with my new glasses, I basically have 4k vision but those lines are still present.

Ever seen a patient with Fabry disease? My optometrist and ophthalmologist didn’t know much about it as it’s very rare so I thought I’d help spread the word, i’m currently being tested for it. Not my pic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11599/

Can accommodative esotropia be a result of nearsightedness instead of the more common farsightedness? My 3 year old's right eye always turns in when he's watching TV 10 feet away. It doesn't do this during the rest of the day or when he's reading close up.
