> So, is that classified simply as astigmatism, or do you get a much cooler scientific term to classify what sounds like a bit more extreme condition than mine? Oh, for the record, i've switched between glasses and contacts since 5th grade (about 13 years).

No. I do have an astigmatism in each eye, but only a very small one. (Is that even a proper way to use the word "astigmatism"? Oh well.) My left eye is far- or near-sighted (I can never remember which) with a -3.75 diopter offset (or however that should be phrased). My right eye has a +0.25 thingy--not enough to require correction. Basically, my eyes are just different from one another. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm a mutant freak.
