Astigmatism Symptoms #9: Glares

Glares occur when one has difficulty seeing in the presence of bright lights such as sunlight or headlights. A glare refers to light that enters the eye and scatters, causing blurry and distorted images. There are two types of glares: discomfort glare and disability glare.

Discomfort glare causes the affected individual to look away or have trouble seeing. Disability glare causes the impairment of vision with or without discomfort. Glares can be caused by presbyopia, cataracts, nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and more.
