Positive dysphotopsia

I also have PD, going on 4 months now. I just returned from a visit at the Cleveland Clinic to get a more expert opinion since my local doctor has not been helpful. The doctor in Cleveland has told me to give it 3 more months before I make any decisions. He said for most people it eventually goes away. His recommendation to me was a reverse optic capture, where they life the capsular bag up around the lens to try to block the light bouncing off the lens. He talked to me about a YAG also, but I told him I had read on this message board that almost no one gets better from that and he agreed. He also said that he tends to be conservative and typically avoids lens replacement as it can be risky. I found this doctor to be very trustworthy as he was very kind and really listened to me. He spent over an hour with me. If I ever get my other eye done, I plan to travel to Cleveland to have him do it.

Hi Mauigirl, I'm glad the doctor at the Cleveland Clinic was so helpful and reassuring. Could you confirm that he agreed that symptoms of PD almost never improve after yag?
