Glare/Light Streaks following YAG laser for PCO

Yag follow-up: No, the surgeon didn't suggest a follow-up. I asked if there was one and he said 'if there is any issues we're here'. I live close, within walking distance to their office, and I've never had a problem getting an appointment within a few weeks and know that if I have a more urgent issue they would get me in right away.

Glare: I find it hard to describe. Unlike the static long maddox rod line, I now have more multiple thinner, more faint lines, moving rays can apply at times, somewhat similar what you were describing but far worse than the glare I was experiencing before the cataract surgeries....also huge starbursts from headlights you describe also sounds similar. It's just weird - but it's only been a week and I am crossing my fingers that I will adjust better. Doesn't interfere with my driving either.

Retinal Surgeon. Yes, I see one yearly and will probably make an appointment for end of the year or early next assuming no issues surface in the meantime.

Hi again,
I realized yesterday that the starbursts from street lights and headlights since cataract surgery are actually positive dyspotopsia, so it seems I have both PD and the maddox rod effect. Looking again at your message, would you say you had the same? The reason I ask is that my second opinion cataract surgeon is now not as interested in moving forward with my second eye or yag laser without my confirming that my vision is compromised (second eye) or very compromised (yag laser).
