What Causes Visualization Of Shadows In Light While On Digoxin?

I have been on some medications for a heart rhythem problem including amiodarone and digoxin as well as aspirin. About a month ago I noticed that right after I wake up in the morning I can see shadows of my arm movements in a certain degree of light. This goes away after a few minutes especially if I get up. My heart doctor discontinued my amiodarone shortlyafter I reported that. I have been off it for several weeks now, but still have that odd symptom. I hear it can stay in yoiur body for some time even after you stop taking it. I have no other odd vision symptoms and I'm feeling fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
