Hello again,
I have been noticing the quality of the starbursts I see from fairly distant lights seems quite strange. Instead of straight lines coming out from the light source in the center they must be bending and interfering with the other lines making it look like broken or dotted lines coming out from the light source.
Also, I notice that when the sun reflects off the roof of cars that the bright white line that should create a starburst creates lines that follow the shape of the original white light.
The same happens noticeably on the older yellow streetlights which I tried to draw (notice the lines following the shape of the light rather than creating the usual starburst) - https://imgur.com/ZB4cj49
My immediate conclusion I jumped to was cataracts. I'm 32 which seems a bit premature but perhaps it's some early sign of them? Or perhaps my astigmatism has shifted again and it's playing tricks on me?
Anyone else notice similar effects?
