Hey, I just happened to find this site whilst googling, and I'm really excited to see that there's a community like this on the internet!
Anyway, my symptoms: In situations where I see two images of high contrast - for example white text on a black background - I see a partial duplicate image above the text. I looked it up, and it seems to be something called "ghosting". Also, I see halos around bright lights at night. My vision isn't otherwise bad enough to require glasses, but I'm just wondering what this could be? I don't have the money to go to an eye doctor yet, and I'd just like to get some of the possibilities.
I'm hoping Astigmatism, because that's at least fixable.
Thanks!
Edit: Also, when I do the "pinhole test" - I look through a hole poked into a piece of paper - these symptoms disappear.
