Perceptual Disturbances Not a Major Predictor of Schizophrenia Onset

I have perceptual disturbances. I’m fairly certain it’s a symptom of derealization.

Spatial distortions where everything is always shifting and moving slightly, lagged images are very common, something like a visual echo, it happens constantly when i’m watching tv and the scene changes, then it looks like there are two things being played at once for about half a second

Detail is harder to see in most things, my vision will unfocus frequently, which looks not unlike the autofocus on a phone camera (if it worked in reverse haha)

Kinda like being on a really low dose of acid without the colors.

I do have other symptoms that are more cause for concern, but a majority of my symptoms fit the perceptual disturbance category so far. Nothing auditory though.
