Hi @mac2018, welcome. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about laser peripheral iridotomy, so that you can meet others who have had this procedure. Click VIEW & REPLY in the email notification to scroll through past messages. Have the ghost shadows since disappeared? How is your vision now?

Unfortunately it happens to some patients. It is called a dysphotopsia. I had bilateral peripheral iridotomies over two years ago and I still have residual crescent of light that I can sometimes see. It is the worst when watching a movie on our big screen TV, when driving in sunlight without sunglasses or when looking directly towards a window that is too bright. I doubt mine will ever change as it has remained essentially the same since fall of 2016. I will say that there have been stretches of time that go by that I don't seem to notice it as much but then later will be bothered again. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this.
