Forum:
I recently found out that I have a little bit of astigmatism (context: I started taking face-to-face French lessons, and I need to take the bus to come and go. Usually, when the lesson is over, around 5:20 p.m., the sky is already getting dark. Here in Brazil the buses have a sign with letters in neon indicating the path that bus takes. But at night, for me, my vision is very blurry [as if it were raining] and my eyes start to water because of the sensitivity to very strong light on a dark background. Because of that, I already missed buses, because I couldn't read the sign in time. I went to the ophthalmologist and found out that I have astigmatism. I need to make the lens of the glasses, but here in Brazil it costs a kidney.)
Because of that, when I'm reading something in a forum like Yesterweb or MelonLand, my vision gets really fucked up. My eyes starts to scramble the letters, and I can't mentally read what they mean, I can only see them. And because I have to concentrate my vision in a lot on words, which are in small font, my head starts to hurt and my eyes get tired.
I think it is cool the customization of each site, the way it looks like it is from the 2000s/90s and everything but, it hurts my brain to use it because of the amount of information displayed that can't be modifiede by each user. I don't think this topic has a lot to be discussed, I just wanted to share my discomfort.
