Yeah I'm easily willing to live with them (they have no negative effect) but I'm not at all willing to exacerbate them greatly (that could have untold negative effects)
No reason to have the same conversations we had on earlier pages again... I'm just asking for people's perspectives on what is normal vision so that I can compare and know when it's safe for me to do pyschedelics again.
If you think that makes me stupid, so be it. But it's at a point now where even smoking weed doesn't make the visual effects actually impede my vision (as it did a week ago), so there is no reason for me not to.
Not looking for judgement or advice just info

Korean Jesus said: Can someone with normal vision help me discern what is normal? I'm struggling to remember how my vision was a few months ago.
1. Is it normal for there to be slight movement of fine text (and slight trails on them) when you let your eyes go out of focus for a few seconds?
2. Is it normal for the image of a very bright screen to linger for an instant (something like a tenth of a second to half a second if it's very bright) in the dark when you flick your eyes away from it?
3. To what extent are afterimages normal? Should they appear from anything other than staring into a direct source of light (like a bulb or the sun)?
4. Is very subtle visual snow, detectable only if focused upon in the dark, normal at all?
5. Are vivid afterimages, where you can see the shape of an object as well as finer details within it, normal if you close your eyes after looking at a bright screen in the dark?
Thanks for any responses
I’ve been thinking about your posts for ages now, KJ. You see, all this talk of HPPD has made me turn my gaze towards myself! I have never had 20/20 vision, but over the last year, I have noticed difficulties reading small print. My reading glasses prescription is correct so it’s not that. It’s almost like I can’t focus in the centre of my vision. Don’t know how else to describe it.
But since I am now doing regular trips at two week intervals, I wondered if that may be too frequent. I am not doing heroic doses, generally doing between 3.5 and 4.0g dry cubensis. It’s almost like you’ve had too much alcohol!. I do smoke a lot of weed; have done for 20cyears, so could also be related to that. But in response to your numbered questions above, I would say:- 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. I get them walking my dogs in the woods when it’s dim. 4. Yes (low light phenomenon) 5. Yes.
Here’s something to give you a laugh. Yesterday in the woods, walking under an iron pipe I walk under everyday; yesterday I walked into it and knocked myself over. Ended up hands and backside in the river and a throbbing head. Must have got concussion because my head split open in two places, had headache all day and felt sick! But the effect this “concussion” had on my vision was exactly like HPPD sounds.........
Take care, DJ Ed

Maybe we all have mild HPPD and I’m the only one that noticed it, lol. I’ve always been an incredibly observant person
The comparison to alcohol is good. Haven’t you ever wanted to read text on your phone but you’re too drunk to do so? That’d suck as a permanent state... but a lot of posters here have eased my anxiety. Maybe my vision was “better” before, but if what I’m describing is commonplace and undetrimental then it really isn’t a problem.
Thanks for your perspective.

I love the feeling of alcohol gives but I rarely drink it because getting drunk makes me nauseous and vodka tastes like shit.
It’s too bad drugs like weed & psychedelics that are significantly better for your health and feeling are illegal

Are you implying that I or we should be more compassionate to people that convince themselves of having a non-existent problem?
I deal too much with that in everyday life to have any patience left for it and things would be soooo much better for everyone if people dealt with the real problems in and around themselves instead of, literally in this case, "looking" for a problem.
Korean JC, if you're really concerned, go get your eyes checked but it looks like you've been told a few times at least that what you experience is normal.

Also, if you look KJ's history of post topics, the subjects are almost exclusively a rather redundant hyprochondriasis that's very normal of young people in their early exploration of psychedelics.
Many of those who've given responses of their experienced advice are probably pretty fed up with that advice not being honored at all - just more of the same paranoia and delusional belief that something is irreparably damaged. It's disrespectful to those you're seeking advice from, and, quite frankly, kind of odd to reach out only to repel everything you hear because you read some wikipedia articles on some conditions that have almost no real evidence-based proof behind their theories.

Well said footpath, don't ask if you're just going to ignore everyone or keep asking the same questions.
KoreanJesus, maybe this will help...a video about moving illusions
and for anyone else that is tired of wasting energy trying to help people that don't really want good advice...this is freaking hilarious https://www.captiongenerator.com/1575182/A-TC-in-a-Noob-Thread

Good for you KJ, maybe someday people (not talking to anyone in particular) will realize that not everyone is interested in coddling people with made-up problems that need the same question answered multiple times

How dare I be concerned for my safety 😭
Some people here are so toxic, I wonder if they’re being internet tough guys or if they seriously have no regard for their own safety
Why don’t you go back to convincing people to trip on plane rides? Seems like one of your better ideas tbh

Yep. My father also said "stop being a crybaby" and "don't be an idiot, use your head". Sounds like your parents never told you "no".
