Palinopsia is a medical condition in which a person sees repeating images after the original image has changed or been removed. This condition can be distressing and can affect a person's ability to see clearly. There are several synonyms for palinopsia, including "visual perseveration," "afterimage," "ghosting," "image trailing," and "trailing phenomenon." These synonyms are often used interchangeably to describe the same condition. Individuals suffering from palinopsia may experience afterimages or ghosting of objects, colors, and shapes, making it difficult for them to focus on and perceive the world around them. Treatment for palinopsia depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, therapy, or surgery.
