Question : I keep seeing images after quite reading or see images .
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
There are a couple of things this could be. First, this could be a problem related to the eye itself, such as retinal damage, or cataracts. The first and most important thing you should do is visit an opthalmologist for a full vision and eye exam. Second, if this eye exam is normal, this could be a problem with the brain itself, possibly related to dementia, and could be treated with a low dose atypical neuroleptic medication like risperidone. But the first step is an opthalmologic eye exam!
