This makes anything that you are looking at focused both on the retina and behind the retina. To you it appears as a shadow, doubling, or tilting.
If you have experienced these symptoms, you may have astigmatism. It is most likely due to an uneven stress pattern located within the muscles of your eyes.

The moving object test is an at home test where a parent can determine if one of their child's eyes reacts slower than the other by covering one eye at a time and having the child focus on a moving object, such as a pen or marker, as it is waved slowly back and forth in front of their eye.

Your vision health insurance policy should give you the opportunity to have enough contacts on hand to do just that. You can't take any chances when it comes to exposing your eyes to potential infections.
