I’m losing my vision

I think There is something wrong with my eyes. I have always had horrible vision. And by horrible I mean I’m almost legally blind without glasses. But even when I have my glasses on I see double. Not double as in there is 2 of something but double as in like. Ghost images. The best way I can describe is, when you write something with a pen and you rub ur hand over it and it does that thing where the color bleeds? well I see that over a lot of things. Usually things that are lit up. So TV screens, computer screens, my phone screen, traffic lights and things that also reflect light. It’s very annoying when I’m trying to work on my online class work sometimes. But it doesn’t stop when I cover one eye. Both eyes do it for some reason. I’ve been to the eye doctor about it and she said I have a slight astigmatism, but....would a slight astigmatism make this happen?

Another reason why I’m scared for my vision is because I get ocular migraines. Every once and a while (usually before my period) I will get a migraine aura of a scotoma, which is basically a weird colorful shimmery blind spot. But I am scared that this is like a brain tumor or something, I have had these before and I told my eye doctor about it but she said that there is no tumor or anything on my eyes, she’s done full tests and examinations and my eyes are incredibly healthy. It scared the day lights out of me cause I don’t know what’s going on. I’m only 19 years old and according to a gene test i took I have a variant of a gene that goes with age related macular degeneration (I’m aware I am not old enough for that really to take place but I’m still scared)

What do I do?!?!?
