Are there two moons?
« on: February 14, 2016, 04:28:27 PM »
Astigmatism in my left eye causes me to see two moons unless I put on my glasses.
Does everyone see two moons when I am not wearing glasses?

I don't understand why people can't see two moons when two moons are somewhat visible to me when I am not wearing glasses.

I know what I think I see. It is relatively clear to anyone who listens to me describe what I am viewing that I see two moons.
Yet, they deny there are two moons.

My question is: How do I convince people there are two moons without admitting that I have a defect?

 



 






You shills REALLY need to watch your vocabulary.

I also have astigmatism in my left eye, and while I too will occasionally see multiple copies of the moon, that extends to anything that's bright against a dark background, like streetlights and projected screens. In fact there is one moon, and the appearance of multiple copies of these things is due to the way light is being reflected on the surface of our eyes. The reason that corrective lenses fix this (to an extent, at least in my case even with glasses on there isn't perfect clarity) is because they are shaped to accommodate the deficiency inherent in your eye.
