No One Knows What it is

I've read a lot of topics on here to see if anyone has described what I have, but no one.  I have ghost image, but it isn't normal, it's in each eye and sometimes the ghost image is negative color or normal color.  I try not to look at them (everything is like this) but the longer I do it starts change colors.  I'm looking at my hand at first it's blue colored (negative of my skin color) then it slowly turns darkish red. More things are I have bright streaks across my vision sometimes, mostly at the bottom and it moves down then starts in the center and moves down for a while.  This is a weird one, I get afterimages a while have I stopped looking at an object, and it comes back if I blink. I've been to ophthalmologists they have no ideas.  No ones knows anything about this.

There have been other postings with similiar complaints. If you've had this for several years its not likely anything serious and unless it changes best perhaps to put out of mind and stop fixating on it.

If its been there only a short while and is getting worse I would suggest seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist and a neurologist.
