Seeing a pinpoint of light as a cell-like flat circle...?

Hiya,

Just thought I'd try to describe this and see if anyones knows what it
is (if anything)... I don't know any technical terms, but I'll try my
best to get what I mean across clearly.

It happens when I take off my glasses at night and look at a pinpoint
of light- like on the TV when its on standby, or on a laptop charger...
Or a christmas light, I suppose. With one eye, I see what you'd expect-
a blurry light- but with the other I see.. well, I want to call it a
cell, though I don't think that's accurate. Instead of seeing the light
itself, I see a flat circle, the colour of the light itself, except for
some shading and small, black circles. There seems to be two layers to
it; one that doesn't move, and one that can be moved if I squint and
then open my eye again; the dark circles change location and also can
create bright lines where, when squinting, the edges of my eyelids has
been. The outside shape of the circle stays the same on both layers.
All parts of it are sharply in focus- I can't say that of anything else
when I have my glasses off!

Obviously it's not causing me a problem or anything; I'm just curious!
I hope I've explained it decently... It certainly sounds odd to me

Thanks
Lindsay

 

sounds like astigmastim and high order abberations which disort light
as is in my case too
