Posted , 3 users are following.

at the begging of 2015 i noticed i had some double vision I went to my eye doctor and he called that ghost imaging he said my glasses would fix it over the past year it has got worse i have really bad anxiety and its like my vision is all messed up now i went to a Retina specialist a few months back and everything checked out fine my whole eye exam did the past few weeks the ghost imaging has got worse so i went to my doctor and hes referring me to a ophthalmologist and he said if they dont find anything hes gonna get a head scan done for a brain tumor but a month ago i got hit in the head and had a ct scan done if i had a brain tumor wouldnt the ct scan have shown it?

    Yes in most cases a CT would have shown an amomaly. If it continues i would get an MRI done as this test doesn't miss a thing. Your vision problem could be being caused by several things so i know it's easier said than done but try not to worry until you find out what's going on. Good luck.

    your vision problem is most likely something eye related a ct scan would have picked up any lumps
