To ask if you get spots in your vision from light?

[inkworks273]

For the last couple of years my eyes have been super sensitive to light. If I look at something bright then look away I get spots in my vision for a few seconds. This can range from looking at glare from the sun, light from a lamp, the tv, my phone, car headlights etc. I’ve also noticed that if I look at an object and then look away, I get a brief after image of the object. I also have a lot of floaters.

I’ve had my eyes tested and been told my eyes are healthy and vision is normal.

I’m just wondering if anyone experiences similar? Not sure if it’s a normal part of my eyes ageing.

Doesn't everyone?

Are you talking about floaters - if so, I think it's quite common

I didn't used to. Unless it was just something I was unaware of before.

No. I get floaters too but I'm talking about after images of light.

I do ..I am extremely short sighted though! It often happens if I squint with one eye at cellphone at night.
Get it checked with an optometrist though!

Yes its normal i think

Yes, I thought everyone did? I am really short sighted though

Do you take any medications? I find this gets worse after I’ve taken a certain one. I have quite bad floaters too and sometimes they show up as spots of light if I’ve been looking down at a screen for too long.

If first noticed it after taking sertraline. I haven't taken it for about 2 years now but it never went away.
