Dr. Jay Bradley answered

Specializes in Cornea, Cataract, & Refractive (LASIK & PRK) Surgery

Vision abnormalities: Based on your description, it sounds like you may have astigmatism or some other eye distortion causing your problems. See an eye doctor to determine the exact issue and to consider glasses or contact lens correction.
