    Im not completely sure what you mean when you say ghost image. If you mean you see a halo around lights at night or around brighter objects then that is usually indicative of cataracts. They can be mild and still have this effect on your vision. Some docs do not tell patients that they have them when they are mild because they do not want the patient to worry and nothing will be done about a cataract until it effects the vision to a certain point. Now if you are seeing two objects like when reading seeing the same two lines or looking at a picture and seeing a double image then you would want correction with prism. My guess from your description would be the start of a cataract. Best of Luck!
