Hello. I am a 20 year old female. For the past year I've had a bout of visual disturbances including floaters, snow, afterimages, ect.

Recently new things have started. I have noticed when I look at text there seems to be a duplicate above it. (I posted an image for reference) I do have an asitgmatism and myopia, but this has never been an issue for me before. Could it randomly get worse?

Another thing I have noticed is at night it feels like there's mucus or something in my eye. I try to wipe it away but it does not help. Sometimes my vision blurs out as well. Can someone offer any help? I really want to see a doctor for this but I've already gone to one about 5 months ago and he said my eyes were fine and I can't afford to keep going. But the ghosting and mucus feeling is new. I am sort of scared of what this could be.

    Possible dry eye. Google mgd and also Blepharitis. Can really affect your vision

      Could be due to dry eyes. However have a second opinion from an Opthalmologist. Needless to say that one should be extra careful regarding eyes.
