Multiplying Afterimages ?

[TheGman6072]

when I look at a light bulb, and look away, I see the colored afterimage but this time, there are like 6 of them. I look away from the light bulb and then I see 5 or 6 blue/purple light bulbs. This only happens when I look at lights. This happen to anyone else ?

Lights are the worst because there's usually such a big contrast between them and their surroundings. Same goes for the sun. My afterimages have never been too bad but even today after eight months whenever I look at the sun directly I'll get some bad afterimages. Best to try and avoid looking at them directly. Also, the longer you stare at the them the worse so just try and keep your eyes moving a bit more rapidly when you're in situations with lots of bright lights.
