I don't have Aphantasia but I think the concept is wrongly described as the possibility of overlaying imaginary images on top of what you are seeing. If that was the case, then I have Aphantasia too. In my case of not having Aphantasia is to be able to mentally reproduce an image with eyes open. If this image requires too much effort or has my interest for some reason, I still can see, but I am distracted by what I am visualizing at that moment. That distraction is like when playing a videogame or watching a movie: you never see (or remember) what is around the monitor or TV because you are focused in playing/watching.
