I had laser cataract surgery on one eye four weeks ago and still see a stream of light at an approximately 45 degree angle through led and other bright lights. I was given the impression that this would dissipate in time and therefore proceeded with cataract surgery on the other eye last week. I now see, at times. a horizontal streak of light and some hazing around some lights in that eye, although it's less bothersome and may be fading and I am only out a week from that second surgery.

Another surgeon who examined me the day after my second surgery, informed me that the J & J Enhance lens used was smaller than my natural lens and that the capsule holding the lens would likely shrink over the next few months possibly correcting the issue. But he also noted that there was or could be (not sure exactly what he said) of a wrinkling in the capsule (or maybe the lens, not sure) that was causing the light streaking.

In any event, he told me that if the 'light issue' didn't resolve within 3 months, the issue could be addressed by the Yag laser.

I wonder:
1. if others have had their 'light issues' whether due to wrinkling or otherwise self-corrected within months;
2. if not, whether they adjusted to it over time as opposed to taking a risk with the yag laser; and,
3. I wonder if this occurrence was due to having my cataract surgery done by laser as opposed to the more traditional manual method
