Seeing halos around lights at night ever since I dropped acid. Will they eventually go away?

I dropped 1 tab of acid like 5 months ago, had very obvious visual snow, and panic attacks for like a month. I haven't done any drugs since, I feel back to normal, and the visual snow has slowly gotten better (1.5/10 intensity now).
However, I still see halos and a spiky rigid blur around lights at night. (ever since the acid). Especially headlights and street lights. They don't really bother me, but will they eventually go away?
Been geeking myself out thinking I have glaucoma and shit lol. Any thoughts / experience? Thinking about trying lions mane pills to help, since various forums found a "cure" with them.

They've always been there your just noticing it more after your lsd trip
Or it could be minor HPPD And will go away eat healthy be healthy and it'll go away eventually
I see halos of light just like you describe I'm sure other people do too they be always been there just more noticeable after psychedelics

I remember geeking in school after my first hit. I thought it changed my vision. Truth was one eye is far sighted and the other near.
If it was mescaline it can last longer with weed. Didn't sound like mescaline being a tab.

Is it really causing you so much trouble that it's impairing your everyday life?
I get residual visual from LSD too, as does nearly every single person that takes it. In fact, I take it as much and as often as I can, to maintain the visual aspect of the LSD in my everyday life.
I too experienced a decrease in "visual snow" after taking a break from LSD, so I decided to take it a LOT. 26 doses at once made the snow so strong I couldn't drive a car for around a year.
I'm still at like 7.5-8 out of 10 visual intensity on a daily basis, and sometime I take little tiny bits of acid to stay there.
Sorry man, but I can't possibly fathom why you would want your persisting visuals from LSD to go away. I spend most days trying to make sure mine stays.
All you can do is keep from taking any drugs at all until you feel you're experiencing reality the way you want it.

I did acid for the first time in September 2015 and ever since then I have seen the halos around lights and they have not gone away. I also see rainbows in headlights and other types of lights. I enjoy the hppd symptoms. the halos and rainbows are nothing compared to other hallucinations I have while sober.

Try meditating, and see if it effects your vision. There are a lot of similarities and cross sections between a positive psychedelic experience and deep meditation. They can both change our visual perception in similar ways, too.
I recommend this in an attempt to verify a theory: it's not specifically that 'lsd' caused these visual anomalies, simply the experience of being 'high', which you could get from any number of sources, including drugs and meditation.
My vision changes after a good run in a similar way that it does after smoking weed, for instance.

Play with your eyes and look at the lights in the many different ways can look at something. You will find a whole array of different visual perspectives to what is seen. Have fun..

I remember being very young, like maybe 6 or something, as I was trying to sleep I was staring in the direction of a light and squinting, moving my eyelids in ways that a beam of light/halo would appear from the light, stretch, grow, and do weird stuff. After doing this a while I noticed the weird visual effects that I'd brought on wasn't going away, (And i'm not talking about just having an afterimage of light in my vision from staring directly at a light, this was different)
I guess my point is that once something has been triggered, you notice it much more than you did before, but it's always been there to some extent.

I see a lot of weird things especially when I look at solid blank surfaces. I can see movement like waves on walls. when I look at the sky is when it gets most intense. I see little things that I call floaters. it looks like a bunch of bugs are flying around in the sky. it also looks like bugs treading through water. if I look at a black and white striped surface, the stripes move very violently up and down in a swaying type of motion. sometimes when I am reading or just looking at words, the words will slightly dance and jiggle. if I stare at anything long enough it gains subtle movement. ever since I started doing psychedelics, my dreams have been a lot more vivid and I have a lot of dreams where I hallucinate. lsd gave me mild hppd symptoms but lsa gave me severe hppd symptoms.

It didn't go away for me. I see halos around the moon with 3 points coming off it. That's been since 2012 or so I'm sure it's related to my psychedelic use and I've never told a doctor about it but when I'm sober I see a halo of some sort everytime. It's beautiful but not normal. I see it more pronounced on psychedelics

I'm also in the camp that thinks you just didn't notice inaccuracies in your vision before. Halos around lights are normal, and especially common if you're at all nearsighted or the lights are far away.
There's really simple proof that everyone has slightly inaccurate perceptions of glowing objects:
Draw a star. How many points did you give the star? 5? 6?
Stars are round, dumbass. They don't have points... Why does everyone in the entire world seem to draw them with points?

I see translucent specks swirling around if i look at a clear sky, and patternless textured shit like stucco forms patterns when i look at it. I never even notice unless i pay attention to it. Thats been going on for 15 years at least.

Wind on trees, sometimes at the right moment when the leaves are swaying... GOD I swear I always find that connected to psychedelia, It's almost as if I'm tripping.
And clouds, oh god when there's a lot of wind and the clouds are moving fast and morphing it also make me feel as if I'm tripping.
feels good , like someone is trying to put up a message in our everyday life, because when you think of it... leaves swaying in the wind and clouds moving and morphing are just everyday life regular themes, but they relate so much to psychedelia that it astounds me. It gives me those little moments each day which reminds me of good times and a lot of knowledge I've earned along the way of altering my mind to open up to myself and nature. utterly beautiful how much appreciation one can achieve simply by altering his own state of mind.

Yes they will go away. So long as you stop taking psychedelics. They mostly go away.
You can't undo some things though. Some people will have a harder time but the way you framed the question would suggest that you can return to normal if you want to. It might take a few weeks at most.

Definitely burned your brain causing it to bleed and that's why you have snow and halos. If you rub silver sulfadiazine on your forehead and temples it might get better.

I had HPPD from mush and it lasted around 4 months. Now I got different effects from doing L for 1.5 year and they don't seem to be going away. I see tracers behind moving objects. Also I see more specks/snowing at night than I did in the past and it isn't getting any better. At the same time, my manual skills have improved since doing L and my reaction times are shorter - as long as I'm getting enough sleep.

Halos I see around the moon with a pointed star drawing like beams emanating from it aren't just small halo rings around it. It's pronounced geometric and spreads out. It's not as gnarly sober but I've learned to live with it. I just forsure didn't have that before tripping so much. Also I used to have 2020 vision and I now have a stigmatism that progressively gets worse. Initially I thought it was from tripping because otherwise I have really good vision . However I think it's unrelated now . The moon halos are fucking real and much more pronounced then the halos I used to see around moons.
