You know, just recently I found out that the real word was "astingmatism", I always just thought that it was "stingmatism", and A was the right article you used in front of that... LOL!=D

Since my last eye exam my astigmatism has gotten a bit worse. However, I find it funny how he says it will cause some problems if you do any "critical seeing". LOL! Like seeing isn't a part of everyday life!
