Anyone ever close their eyes and focus on a vivid image that appears?

Question

Has anyone ever closed their eyes and focused on a vivid image of light for so long that when you open your eyes you can&rsquo;t stop focusing on that image and you feel like you&rsquo;ve messed you vision up and that image of light will never go away?

Answer

A lot of people do it. It can happen when you get a glimpse of light or if you stare into concentrated light for too long (which i wouldn&rsquo;t reccomend) but the images are perfectly normal don&rsquo;t worry.

Answer

Yes, it is called persistence of vision and it is normal.

Answer

Thank you to everyone for your reassuring comments! I was so worried at the time..
