Do I have HPPD?

Take note of how many of these apply to you, and how often.

• I experience what appears like T.V. "static" projected over my vision during the day, or especially at night. 

• Stationary objects appear to sway side to side, wave up and down or move. 

• I see lights/colors that ring around the perimeters of objects. 

• I see an image of an object when I look away from it.

• When I read, I see white and/or black shadow "ghosted" images of the text.

• I notice geometric patterns in my field of vision when my eye is either open or closed.

• Spontaneously, an object will appear larger or smaller than it actually is. 

• I see objects leaving trails behind them as they move, like long exposure photography.

• I feel detached from my body, as if I am observing it from a distance. 

• I experience the world as dream-like, alien and unreal.
