If you have astigmatism then then some of the lines will appear distinctly darker,some lines may be more grey or you might see shaddows behind each line. The angle of the major distortion is indicated on the chart.

People with natural clear vision see all the lines in the same thickness and exactly the same spacing between the lines.

Look at the Astigmatism chart from several distances and notice where the distortion begin and ends. It is possible to have astigmatism only at the near, or only at the distance, or at any plane in between.
