kay im 16, & ive been noticing for the past months that my vision has been getting crappy. i went to the doctor in july he said i got 20/20 vision.. but my cousin said you can have 20 20 vision and still have bad vision.. i dunno it made sense when she explained it.
anyways. everything is kinda foggy .. or like it glows ... like that photo editing effect on picasa2. (way to advertise)
when i look around, when im in class for example, i see random lines and all this stuff going crazy. its like after you rub your eyes and then focus on soemthing imemdiatly. i can still see pretty well but those just botehr me alot.. what the HELL is that? it freaks me out. i go on the computer alot but .. i dont think it does that to you.
for example, when youre watching tv and you close yoru eyes immediatly you still see the outline, so its like that all day long pretty much.. i have anxiety if that can contribute to it .. and probly some other mental issues haha.anywyas..any help is greatly appreted

I have experienced something similar. I believe it is called an AURA. It is a symptom of an oncoming migraine headache. If I see that I relax and it goes away so I have never had a classic migraine headache.
I was worried enough to see an ophthalmologist and that is what he identified it as.

It sounds to me like you have astigmatism and this could be an even bigger problem when you get your driver's license because light issues are hard to see through when you're driving at night. Trust me, I had pretty good vision too and my astigmatism totally screws up my night vision, and even sometimes during the day. I get sparkly starbursts off of bright lights, halos around street lights, glare from certain things. It's a pain in the butt. You probably need correction for the astigmatism. I have contacts now and it's a bit better.

sounds like the beginning of a migraine. There are such things as visual migraines, same symptoms of migraine, but no pain. Look it up. Also, have your parents make an appt. with a neurologist for them.
I get them occasionally, but usually I get a real painful headache following, but sometimes, just the jacked up vision....

those are symptoms of a migraine...there's not always pain associated with the migraine...if light bothers you too much, you should try wearing lightly colored glasses and see if those help...if they do, you have your answer...if they don't, you will need to get your eyes checked by another doctor so you can get the prescription glasses you need to fix that...losing your eye sight wouldn't be fun...

You need to see an ophtalmologist. (Eye Doctor/Specialist). They are the ones specializing in eye problems. Tell your parents ASAP... could be a sign of something worse or a little thing..
