Hi Bobbyo,
Read back to sbvrd’s May 23rd entry and link reference...
See sbvrd’s doctor references too...
I tried accessing sbvrd's entry, links and doctor references by adding sbvrd to the search box without success. Could you let me know how to find these resources?

@tillymack, I believe you may be looking for this comment, where @sbdvrd included a PDF of a journal article titled "Surgical management of positive
dysphotopsia: U.S. perspective" See their comment here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/positive-dysphotopsia-after-cataract-surgery/?pg=2#comment-710737
Hi tillymack,
As I had said, Dr. Safran in NJ was helpful to me (via emails). Check out pertinent youtube surgeries on his website. I don’t know about the other doctors that sbvrd mentioned, but I’d say to search them and their practices online. And, of course, read all you can on Maddox rod effect and other prospective causes of long term dysphotopsias.
Since, as I understand it, you have a significant PCO that worsens your vision, you may not have any other choice than yag capsulotomy. I’m thinking that millions of people have had these with success. But, of course, not all surgeries are successful!
Ask your surgeon about the risks of the yag surgery causing additional dysphotopsias AND look for a second (or third) doctor’s opinion. Good luck!

I did find Sbvrd's entry, links and resources. Thank you. I assume Sbvrd is no longer reading the forum but wonder how he/she is doing. Do you know which of the doctors he/she lists were helpful?
