Interesting. Do you suppose this could be the visual equivalent of phantom limb? (I'm assuming that the damage to the optic nerve from the surgery means that part of visual cortex is now deprived of sensory input from the eye and is generating stuff on its own now.j)

Recently images have been appearing in the area of visual loss. the images appear similar to after images. They are usually coherent images that I can recognize.At one time I thought they were duplications of things in other parts of my visual field my last three scans were clear so it is not caused by re growth of the tumor > Gary J.
