Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

Trails in vision may occcur due to
- Anxiety symptom
- sometimes it may occur normally due to sudden awakening from sleep.
- Inadequate sleep
Ophthalmic reasons had already been ruled out. So i do not see any reason to worry.

If you do not have adequate sleep, consult your doctor for evaluation.
I hope i have addressed your concern.

Feel free to revert to me in case if you have any query.

Thanks.
