Plural form of afterimage; multiple visual impressions that remain in the vision after exposure to bright light.
Plural of afterimage, formed by adding -es. See afterimage for root etymology.
The plural form highlights how afterimages can layer and persist—this is why fast-moving lights like car headlights on a dark night create streaks in your vision rather than appearing as single points.
