What could be wrong with my eyes?

[lennartstek]

----I am going to an eye doctor but i would hear what i could expect, not what i have as i know you can't say that just by looking what i write through the internet---

When i look at something bright with a dark background like a lamp or moon, i see a lump of moons or lights (like several ghost images), and on longer distances it looks like a ring of blurry lights or more like stars around the light.

I see rainbows around lights in dark and i am nearsighted with -2.00d. With glasses my vision is reduced but i still get triple images? It's the same no matter what eye i cover it seems, maybe the triple images switches position when i cover one eye but it's not reduced i think. I also get starbursts and inside those starbursts there are black dots moving around?

I also see afterimages on bright lamps, positive ones. IDK if that is normal or not.

I do see floaters but i'm not really annoyed about that.

I am 19 years old and have been nearsighted since i was 11 or 12.

with glasses on i never get headaches, and i am not sensitive to light.

My eyes do get tired when i use my smartphone but not as much when i use my computer.

I just want a list of possible causes that could occour in my age.

Should be -1,5 and -0,75

[lennartstek]

While both my glasses was -2.00 on both eyes, i was told by the othoptist that i had 1,5 on righ eye and 0,75 on left eye. Could this be the issue? I am going going to try an appointment at an ophthalmologist, but just wondering if too strong glasses could cause something like this?

My optometrist  thought i had eye muscle problem, which i guess i dont have as i see starbursts etc and therefore sent a remittance to one of them. This was because when he showed me a blue light and i covered one of my eyes it moved every time. Does othoptists send remittance advices too?

No othoptists are not trained to detect medical diseases nor in anyplace that I know are they licensed to diagnose and treat medical illnesses. They usually work under the direction of an ophthalmologist or optometrist to assist with eye muscle problems.

I will soon get time for an examination at an Orthoptists , can those detect eye diseases etc?

[John C Hagan III, MD, FACS, FAAO]

Best of luck. Odds are way in your favor this is a minor problem.

Thanks for your advice.
Sadly, here in northern Sweden it takes a long time to get time for an examination, so i just needed to know i'm not close to death or something!

K conus is relatively rare and usually runs in families. The other causes are more likely. See an Eye MD. All I can say.

Hmm, i would say i suspect Keratoconus, however i don't know how common this is? Is it more likely it is something else?

Thanks for your reply!

I posted wrong --- I mean that the images get reduced by glasses to triple images, not my vision!
