Seeing ghost images in only one eye...dry eyes?!
Question: Seeing ghost images in only one eye...dry eyes?
Today I started seeing (or noticing anyway) ghost images in my left eye. When I look through only my right eye it's not there, but when I look through my left it is. It's a a very light colored, transparent image of whatever I'm looking at but slightly above it. If I squint with my left eye just a little bit, it goes away. I'm 20 years old and healthy, but currently weaning myself off Paxil. Could this be a side effect? Or could it be dry eyes? Normally I'd think if it were serious it wouldn't go away when I squinted.
Answers:
no, it is highly UNlikely this is a side effect of any medication. it is probably astigmatism in the left eye. go see an optometrist, you may need glasses.
medications can cause some eye/vision symptoms, but almost never in only 1 eye
