Same here. Also a more minor issue for people like myself, the site causes some 'glare'(?) and is difficult to look at.
I've had this issue since my childhood, now that I think of it. On paper (especially grids) and websites. I should probably figure out what it is.
Do you have astigmatism?
I just looked it up and based off of anecdotal evidence, I think the answer is yes.
I have had glasses for nearsightedness in my left eye but it isn't bad enough for most situations. Never had an eye exam in my life.
I have astigmatism. I had the same issue with grids, certain fonts with lots of vertical lines, and other regular high contrast repeating patterns.
Got some glasses a few years ago for the first time from an optometrist, and now it doesn’t bother me anymore.
So I would recommend getting it checked out.
