16 Nov 2025 - Eye Check for Astigmatism and "Photophobia"

This morning, Javier came to our room and told us that recently, his vision at night became quite blurry whenever he looked at his monitor. He had tried to turn down the brightness and gamma setting, and that helps a bit. We suspected that he may have astigmatism and brought him to a GP for a check.  The doctor then advised us to bring Javier to an Optician to do an eye test.  As such, after lunch, we brought him to one and the test confirmed he indeed have astigmatism but quite mild. We will be getting him a spectacle for that condition, and he only needs to wear at night when looking at his monitor.

We also suspected that he may have a condition called "Photophobia" which is sensitivity or intolerance to light. When he attended his Prom Night recently, he said he was quite disturbed throughout the night because of the lightings in the dining hall.
