Ghost image in my right eye

Hi,

I used glasses for over four years now to treat my Astigmatism in both eyes. Recently, I noticed that I have a ghost image in my right eye even when I wear my glasses. Is that has anything with retina? Is this something serious that may need an operation to the eye?

Appreciate your response

A ghost image caused by glasses is no likely due to brain tumor. If you have access to a neuro-ophthlmoloist that would be a good place to go next

Thanks a lot.
I have visited a doctor today and he confirmed that nothing wrong in cornea, retina or eye nerve. however, he told me its better to visit nerve doctor to identify the reasons behind the double vision that I am having.
Could you please tell me if brain tumor is expected? and what will be the cure for it?

Thanks in advance

It could be due to incorrect glasses RX, poor glasses fit, if you wear contact lens also it could be them. Other causes include disease of the cornea, lens, vitreous, retina or macula
