Afterimages

Posted , 3 users are following.

Anyone here got a lot of afterimages? I get a lot now and faster than I use too. Sometimes for any little thing I get after images or even if I'm driving and looking straight ahead, I see like shadowy lines in the sky. Anyone get that?

    Just how the light comes in and your processing of it. I actually thought this was kind if normal deoending on your vision and stuff. Maybe your too aware of a normal body thing.

      Maybe I am too aware of it now! Because from what I remember before all this I wouldn't notice as much afterimage or

      Trails along with the like shadowy lines in the my vision too. I do know I notice more floaters now but I do know that's normal since floaters are normal just the afterimages kinda triggers me a bit at times

      This is the problem with anxiety it makes you so aware of stuff. Even normal stuff.then you focus on it  and look for things.  You can always go and get an eye exam to remind you all is well.

      OK, I noticed after my breakdown, I had this. I can't stand bright light whereas before I could. Something changed.

    I can relate to Phil. When i had post-natal depression, and (for some reason) when I was on medication for it, I definitely noticed after-images more.

    I bet there's a long medical word for it.

    Also, as I get older these things seem to be more apparent. Have you had an eye exam lately - because I'm sure your optician will be able to explain this and reassure you, too, Eduardo.
