Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

Hello mauigirl17,
As to me, my right eye remains free of dysphotopia.
As I said, I INITIALLY thought that all my efforts to get the round edge IOL were a waste. BUT, at 4 months post surgery, the streaks, arcs, lights went away! I don’t know if it was due to healing, neuroadaptation, the IOL or a combination. Other Note: I did see a doctor’s testimonial on that specific B & L lens I got in the right eye as the only one he uses (to avoid dysphotopsias).
I don’t know the extent of your symptoms, but, it being “only” 5 weeks, I’d wait and hope healing and neuroadaptation would ease the problem. I FULLY agree with avoiding lens exchange if possible.
Quick story: I had a different “minor” procedure for a different “annoyance” done on my left eye in late 2023. Catastrophic.
Good luck!

I'm glad to hear your right eye is all good! I would love to see that testimonial on the lens. I'd also like to hear your story on the minor procedure on your left eye if you're willing to share. I'm only 57 with a teenager in high school. I battled cancer and won last year and my husband is retiring next year. I was finally taking my life back after many, many years of health problems and then this happens. I'm pretty devastated and don't need anything else to go wrong. I'm going to see what they say at the Cleveland Clinic before anyone else touches me. I'm struggling to even get a pair of glasses to work in order to see my computer and read a book. Distance is fine, but everything else is not good.

Could you elaborate on the "minor" procedure on your left eye that went badly? Was that a yag by any chance? I have the Maddox Rod effect and my surgeon has gold me there is a chance that a yag would make matters worse.
