@bighead Have you spoken to the ophthalmologist about a vitrectomy to relese the wrinkles? That is what my husband did, and his vision is still improving gradually 5 months later.
He needed a referral too a retina specialist.

I wear polarized amber (shooting) glasses in my prescription to reduce glare. It worked pretty well before surgery, an with my new Rx, continues to help after cataract surgery.

Are you referring to the maddox rod effect? I was told that is the name for the positive dysphotopsia I experience following my cataract surgery. Basically a diagonal ray of light on either side of a light source mostly seen at night. I was told this is caused by a wrinkle in the posterior capsure and the only treatment was with yag laser. Is vitrectomy an alternative treatment?
