Problem in Eye (Ghosting Image)
Doctor, l'm 14 Years Old. I Have Astigmatism in Both Eye. For This, I'm Having Astigmatic Blurry And Ghosting Image. From Last 7-8 Days, I'm Noticing That One More Ghosting Image is Appeared in My Visual Field. For This, I Start Putting Lubricating Eye Gel Named "Hylo Gel" 5 Times A Day. If I Don't Put The Lubricating Eye Gel For 3-5 Hours in A Row, I Can Clearly See 3 Image. But, If I Use The Gel Accordingly, The Newly Appeared Ghosting Image Merge With Main Ghosting Image And I Can See Them As One. But, If I Blink At That Time, I Can See For 2-4 That The Two Ghosting Image is Merging And Being Only One. Now, Please Answer The Following Queries.
1) What Causing The Problem?
2) What Should I Do Now?
Please Answer, Doctor.
Dear concerned,
Ghosting images are a common problem. They might be a normal phenomenon (called muscae volitantes) where images of different shapes and sizes are seen especially when you look at a blank light screen or sky. These are physiological or considered normal.
However, they can also be a sign of an underlying eye problem which can give rise to floaters. Ghosting images can also occur due to dry eye.
Next Steps
Please get a consultation (in-clinic) with an Ophthalmologist to rule out underlying eye problems.
