Image in Vision

[Blunt_Ashes]

Ever since I looked at a profile picture (side view of my face) I took of myself, it seems like the image is stuck in my vision I can see a clear view of it, it's kind of hard to explain how I see it, its as if the picture is made of water that's what I mean by clear. I keep seeing this same picture in my vision or when I look at designs on TV. I've asked my Psychiatrist about this she said at first it was visual hallucinations, but the second time I asked her she said she doesn't know what it is. Well, I've asked some others and they say I may have burned the image onto my retina, still kind of curious though. Is this normal? Anyone ever experience or hear or know anything about this? Thanks.

if you burned your retina there would be no image to see

Palinopsia, theya re called afterimages, and suck.

Clinically, I have only run across palinopsia with patients with cortical lobe lesions.
I would chalk the OP to being hyper aware and get over it.

my image has been stuck in my head for about 2 years now, it seems like palinosia, and a negative image cuz its been 2 years, is it normal for the pic to stay in the vision for 2 years???
