Phantom eye syndrome is a rare condition that makes people feel like their eye is still open even though it is closed. It can also cause people to feel like they can still see images even though their eye is closed. People with this condition may feel like their eye is twitching or like they are seeing things that are not actually there. In some cases, people can also feel like their eye movements are out of their control. It is thought that this condition is caused by changes in the brain caused by an injury or disease.
