Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

No, glasses don't fix the shape of your eye, but they do correct for that uneven shape. I would know, because they've corrected my vision and it's now crystal clear after being blurry from astigmatism for years. It sounds to me like your prescription just isn't quite right, because you shouldn't have any issues if they had nailed it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not dismissing that you have a problem, and I'm not defending Steam or saying they shouldn't have more accessible options for those with sight issues. What I'm saying is it really sounds like your glasses aren't where they need to be, and that's why you're having issues. With the tech they use to make lenses these days, you should definitely be able to dial in a prescription to get perfectly clear vision with astigmatism.
Glasses don't correct this issue.
