I see multiple ghost images, especially at night, my vision improves completely looking through pinhole. does that rule out neuro causes?

Pinhole: Vision improving with the pinhole generally means that your eyes require a prescription to see better. Your pupil is dilated at night and allows in more scattered light, creating more distortion. Take care.
