Visual disturbances refer to abnormal visual sensations that affect how images appear rather than how sharp your vision is. These symptoms may involve light, movement, distortion, or visual interruptions. Some are temporary and benign, while others may signal retinal, neurologic, or optic nerve conditions that require prompt evaluation.
At MiVision Eye Care, we evaluate these disturbances carefully to determine their cause and whether urgent treatment is needed.
Light-Related
These symptoms affect how light is perceived, especially in bright environments or at night.
Examples include:
Increased glare sensitivity
Objects, Spots, or Shadows in Vision
These disturbances involve seeing shapes, spots, or areas of missing vision that are not actually present.
Examples include:
Dark spots or shadows
Distorted or Double Vision
These symptoms affect image alignment, shape, or clarity and may interfere with daily activities.
Examples include:
Double vision
Wavy or distorted vision
You should schedule an eye exam if visual disturbances:
Appear suddenly
Persist or worsen over time
Interfere with reading, driving, or daily activities
Occur with eye pain or vision loss

Comprehensive eye examination
