Burningrock Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ive had this crap for 11 years. Can someone explain to me why my visual trails have progressively gotten worse over the years at a constant pace. I used to be able to drive at night now it is getting very hard to do. During the day now i see trails on stuff that i never used to see them on. I mentally count how long i see afterimages on different things and have written it down, and they are definatley longer over the years. I have things i use to measure how long my trails are and i would say every year they get 10% worse. Is my vision goin to be one long trail in a few years? Dp, floaters, afterimages, disequilibrium(6 years) and static also. .75mg klonopin for 6 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningrock Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Forgot to add that i dont realy get anxiety anymore, i used to get it so bad all the time, but i have conquered it mostly. And I am i heavy computer user, especially in the winter, something tells me that the computer monitor is making my trails worse, but idk because i wont use the computer for a few days and i dont see any effect but lets say i am on the computer for 6-8 hours after i am done i will notice my trails are 25-35% worse temporaily.

Jay1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have a similar issue.... I work 8-12 hours a day on a computer. Very likely that is the problem. Computer use made my dad short sighted, so it certainly affects the eye in a big way. My computer use is related to work, so I minimize computer use outside of that (not easy!)

rrab Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I didn't even realise i had trails or what i think is trails till i found this site. For me if I'm in a dark room and wave my phone screen across my face it leaves a trail for properly only quarter to half a second. If i wave my hand in front of my face and don't focus on it the trail is even less its just like motion blur from a photo. I have never seen trails on any thing els and i really hope i don't start to. How would you describe your ones? Last much longer? Do they leave after images? My job I'm not on a computer at all so I don't know if that has any thing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
