afterimage

[brianoc93]

Hello Doctor,

I noticed when I stare at somebright like light blub from a chandlier or reflection of the sun off the car I see green light when I blink. Is this a afterimage im seeing? It's only happens when I blink and it doesnt happen all the time.

If you notice you don't see afterimages as much as you used to after looking at bright light sources is that a problem? I also don't see phosohenes at night anymore either. Only 21

No  entoptic phenomena are variable, sometimes not perceived by some over perceived by others and not used for any reliable diagnosis.

Even normal in a 3 month period?

[JohnHaganMD]

Even from day to day.

At times I see blue flashes in my vision in the daytime. At night I see specs of red in vision at night when I'm sleeping

I also have problems with glare and halo/starburst at bright light sources. I also have a normal eyeglass prescription -1.75, -1.25
