This phenomenon usually occurs as an intermediate step in your vision improvement and is to be differentiated from [[astigmatism]] (“Directional Blur”). Your vision biology is constantly adjusting to environmental stimulus, whereby different parts of your system respond at different rates. After clearing up the [[Ciliary Spasm|ciliary spam]] and after starting to improve the physical shape of your eyeball, your [[visual cortex]] already receives plenty of clear data. Our brains however were not built to handle artificial changes to the natural [[Focal Plane|focal plane]].

Our brains however were not built to handle artificial changes to the natural [[Focal Plane|focal plane]]. This means that even when the image hitting your [[retina]] is clear after reducing the strength of your glasses, your brain has to relearn how to create a single clear image out of this new data. This can take longer than resolving the refractive state of your eyeballs and manifests in multiple overlapping clear images of the same image. | ||
This might be somewhat common as you start improving your eyesight — more ghosted images will begin to appear as your [[visual cortex]] is constantly learning to readjust to new signals. | This might be somewhat common as you start improving your eyesight — more ghosted images will begin to appear as your [[visual cortex]] is constantly learning to readjust to new signals. | ||

Double vision can often disappear entirely upon going back to full strength glasses, i.e. non reduced glasses that an optometrist might provide. | Double vision can often disappear entirely upon going back to full strength glasses, i.e. non reduced glasses that an optometrist might provide. | ||
Double vision can be more pronounced once you are in the [[Low Myopia]] range, since every small change in your diopter strength then results in a larger shift of your [[Focal Plane]]. | Double vision can be more pronounced once you are in the [[Low Myopia|low myopia]] range, since every small change in your diopter strength then results in a larger shift of your [[Focal Plane|focal plane]]. | ||
