Hi all
I'm posting here because I am having issues with my eyesight and am not sure if it's part of being aspie or not. Basically, I'm getting increasingly strong after-images of things, especially text on my computer screen or on paper. It's becoming incredibly distracting, as I'm seeing the afterimages or ghost text while I'm reading, so it's almost instant rather than an after-image as such. It's as though the contrast with the background makes these really distracting shapes that then start moving around as my eyes move across the text.
I got my eyes tested and the optometrist prescribed glasses, but the cynic in me thinks that of course they would do that... The glasses have made the text sharper, but the after-images/ghosting worse I am experimenting with turning the brightness down, which seems to be helping a bit, but not stopping it.
Has anyone had any experience with something similar? Any tips???
cheers
