Glare/Light Streaks following YAG laser for PCO

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).

I had YAG 3 mos after my cataract surgery on my right eye. It removed the haze but left me with annoying glare/flares with LED headlamps and street lights. My left eye is perfect except for a slight and singular flare (no YAG). My ophthalmologist wants to YAG it, but I decided to do the "wait and see". Either I'm getting used to the glares/flares, or they are actually diminishing over time. It's only been since the end of December (now Sept) since the surgery and only since end of March (now Sept) for the right eye YAG. As a healthcare professional (PhD in Health Educ specializing in Holistic Health) I KNOW not to jump the gun, yet I have done that to my great demise (Prolia - very bad and long lasting results). I'm going to wait on YAG for my left eye.
