So, here lately, I've been getting some pretty bad migraines. I think I've figured out why. Last time I had an eye exam, my CYL values were OD -1.25 OS -0.5. My eye exam yesterday had CYL values OD -1.5 OS -1.5, so I've gotten a decent amount more astigmatic, particularly on my left eye (the side where it hurts particularly bad). Apparently, astigmatism is linked to migraines, so hopefully my new glasses should help with this.

Interestingly, my SPH values actually got a little better. So, apparently, I'm less myopic, bit more astigmatic. I was actually a little confused at first, because my optometrist told me my eyes had gotten a lot worse, but those values had improved. The worsening CYL values explain it, though.

Worsening CYL values might also explain why I'm having trouble reading some things with my glasses on. I've been working with circuits a lot recently, and I've found it hard to read SMD resistor values and numbers on microchips and diodes with my glasses on. So, hopefully my new glasses also help with that.
