I thought I only had myopia, so I wasn't too worried. Then my prescription showed that I have astigmatism, which I had never heard of.

Right eye (RE): -0.25 CYL, Axis 90°

Left eye (LE): -1.25 CYL, Axis 110°

Is this the reason it's harder for me to see at night and why I'm sensitive to bright lights?

I recently decided to purchase two pairs of glasses after failing multiple eye exams at the DMV several times. I've been wearing glasses frequently and infrequently, generally wearing glasses when I am on the road. My astigmatism mostly includes not being able to see faces from a short distance, and things appearing blurry in the background from both a short and long distance away. I noticed in stores that I couldn't see faces or signs clearly. Some days my vision is worse, and I cannot see the cars in detail from a few feet away. Other days my vision is fine and I can see from a great distance, though it isn't as detailed as it would be with glasses. With recently owning both a car and a license, I've only driven on the road at night twice. I noticed both times that even though my vision is clear with glasses, the lights still appear to be very bright or distracting. It also seems a lot darker, yet clear. There isn’t a glare or halo and I can see very clear in the road, but the lights still seem to distract and catch me off guard enough that I am unsure if I am completely comfortable driving when it’s dark out. Is this a part of my eyes adjusting to the prescription and lighting, or is this something of a concern to mention to an optometrist? I’d like to mention that before wearing prescription glasses, this never was an issue besides the usual effects of astigmatism and glare.
