I see layers when I see?

For a few months now I've started to see strange things. For example, when I drive I see a second layer on top of a yellow road line. Or when I'm typing something on my iPhone I see the original text plus the same text slightly beneath it (same as the road exmaple, a second layer). It doesn't happen on all objects I look at but it's definitely concerning. I've tried researching this on google and couldn t find anything. If someone could help that would be awesome.

It may be a form of double vision. You may be straining your eyes by using them for near work too much. It's better to take a break from close things and look at long-view scenery for 15 or 20 minutes every hour or so. Try that and see if it helps.

This same condition has been gradually developing in my vision. A single-engine plane looks like a biplane up in the sky. Overhead wires look double. I see distant traffic lights as double, although the images coalesce as we get closer. It's been diagnosed as cataracts. That's not surprising, considering that I'm in my late seventies.

I'll be scheduling cataract surgery soon. I've been told by former patients and other sources that it's one of the most common surgeries performed these days, with almost never any complications. My husband had it done a couple of years ago, and now only needs glasses for close work. My sister-in-law, who works with fabrics and threads, says she sees colors much better after her cataract surgery. I look forward to being able to read easily again.
