Afterimages...
Posted , 2 users are following.
So yeah, I've been experiencing odd symptoms lately, and this one is the most concerning, afterimages I'm not sure why I am seeing them, so for me I only see them if its a dark object in a bright environment or a bright object in dark environment, and the colour white, for example in a dimly lit room I could stare at the white trim on the wall and then look at the wall and see a big, black line resembling the trim, or another example I could stare at a chimney on a house and then look at the sky and see the outline of that chimney, they don't retain the same colour as this original image though. So yeah, I am very concerned because I am very young and my dream job requires eyesight. Thank you!

This is totally normal . Staring at anything will induce that image on your retina and when you look away you will see the image or something resembling the image but in colours that are usually complementary to the original colours. You have just discovered one of those things that most people discover when they are young. A lot of so-called "religious images" can be produced in this way.

Sorry for the lack of information, I am 14 years old, and other symptoms I've been experiencing include entoptic phenomenon and floaters that's about it visually, and yes I do find myself just staring at objects to see an afterimage out of concern, so I am not entirely sure what is happening, but I really appreciate your support, thank you very much!
