Does anybody else suffer with seeing a "ghosting" or flickering image in the corner of your eye, as if something were moving just out of your field of vision? Is this a symptom of KC or just me? When this happens, usually in the evening, thats when I really start to rub my eye. Unless my house is haunted......................

John,

Ghosting is quite common with KC.

yes, Jon. I find the same thing. Its as if someone were trying to get you're attention in your outermost area of vision. Or its as if you have an annoying hair flickering there... REALLY annoying. I am trying to get used to it. it's hard. Dunno if its 'NORMAL' tho...
