I’m not an eye doctor - just a guy with astigmatism in both eyes… But my understanding is that astigmatism can happen in multiple ways because it is due to the eye being non-spherical, etc.
Meanwhile, there are limits to what glasses or contacts can do to correct this. Only so many ways a lens can bend light at one time.
I think that’s what leads to people seeing different things, even with glasses on, when it comes to visual distortions like starburst patterns around lights.
Mine are more like crosses which leads me to ask, why are they different?
