with the above astigmatic correction, the minus power is greater along
the 100 deg meridian. this means that if you were only correcting
yourself with the spherical correction, the blur will occur parallel
to the 100 deg line. Since this blur is along this line, the line will
remain thin and sharp as the blur is not perceived. When looking at
the 10 deg line the bluring will occur perpendicular to this line
which you will perceive as blured. This will occur until the correct
astigmatic correction is used. My guess then is that your cylinder
correction is undercorrected. This is of course asuming that there are
no other problems with the eye's optical system.

If you observations are made at reading distance and you are
presbyopic, the opposite may be true and you could be overcorrected.
Forgot to mension this in the earlier post.
