Wait, eye floaters are not normal?
Ive not had eyefloaters as depicted in this image, but I did manage to get gaslit by people for a long time, telling me I was hallucinating, until I found out that entoptic blue field phenomenon is a thing.
I was the only person in my friends/family circle who was autistic enough to notice and attempt to describe it.

Thank you for this. I notice that also sometimes. I thought I just had some mild neurological condition that might be related to high blood pressure.
I think that true for all pics, it’s a fairly cartoonish/exaggerated & simplified representation for normies to get it quicker & be more understanding/differently accommodating.
As for floaters, those are the only pals that don’t leave me. They can’t, … but they dont, that’s the main point here.
Floaters are normal, if one were to notice lots of new floaters, or have lots of flashes then they should be checked out by an ophthalmologist.

Super glad they added the blindness part. I was really struggling to visualize that one.
What about astigmatism? Second class eye issue? The balls would look like eggs. Source: all circles I see look like eggs.
Yeah, that’s about right. When I look at the moon, there’s a second slightly dimmer moon above it that overlaps by about a third. Lights at night are a cluster fuck; I can’t tell a low bed trailer from a standard box trailer. The doubling of the tail lights on a low bed look like the second set of upper lights on a box trailer. I have a hard time focusing in low light. Also, my brain can’t render 3D without my glasses.
My glasses are really thick to make up for my astigmatism, and it makes the world look a bit convex. Eventually, my brain got used to that, but when I switch to contacts I have a good day or two where everything looks concave (first time I thought my phone screen had finally been sat on one too many times) until my brain reverts back. IDK if i’ve ever noticed circles looking like eggs, but then again I rarely am looking at circles with my naked eyes and maybe my brain is fixing it for me anyway?
I have a partially severed optic nerve and my vision looks like the bottom middle picture if the visible section were replaced with the upper area of y=.5x²
What is the difference between cataract and myopia? Is it only me not seeing difference?
It looks like with a cataract, the entire image is significantly blurred, whereas with myopia, the blur gets worse the farther away the element of the image is from you.
Which would make sense, given that the derived definition of myopic is basically being focused on or concerned with only things that directly affect you and not the more grand scheme of things.
Thanks, Maybe I see football and blue/white shirt bit more in focus (only because you mentioned it, I stared long enough lol)
Im on mobile and i had to zoom the image in a bit to look at it.
Its not so obvious at a casual glance.
alternatively:
Maybe you should get your eyes checked =P
The cataract also seems to change the colours rather than just blur it out. It has more of a red’ish hue?
Edit: well not really red. A bit darker?
Cataract appears to have a colour tone change and is uniformly blurry. Myopia is not focused on things in the foreground and there’s no red tinting.
Is it possible you have a slight colour vision deficiency? There’s quite a high percentage of the population that do.
