I have a condition called keratonous(misshapened cornea) which, amoung other things, causes me to see halos around lights, especially at night. I have been wondering if Van Gogh had it too, because Starry Night, is how I see the night sky.
Thank you for your posts. I love the whole thing, all the colors.
