Lighting Observation 9

Thursday, April 11th at 10:25ish at night, walking through North Side
I had been walking back to my dorm, and noticed the halo surrounding the lampposts that surrounded the lights.
I am nearsighted, and need to use contacts or glasses in order to see what’s actually going on in the world. One of the drawbacks from this is that lights always have a glare, but it’s worse at night. Looking at lights, they always have a fuzzy edge to them, an I can’t see the light as just that. Sometimes, if the light is bright or strong enough, I can also see this sorta faint ring around the outermost edges of the light. The ring is purple on the innermost ring, followed by indigo, and green. The colors are similar, in a sense, to oil on top of water or pavement, in that weird color scheme that occurs. Seeing these lights always gives me a sense of curiosity and loneliness. It makes me wonder if other people can also see the same weird light array I am experiencing, or if it’s just another thing to go along with my poor vision. Like, does a normal person only experience the lamppost light, or do they get a glare as well? Do other nearsighted, or even farsighted, individuals also see the rainbow haze around lights? Seeing these lights always bring these questions back up, whether I like it or not.
