When I had the YAG four months after my cararact surgery in March 2024, it got rid of the 'maddox rod' effect but also left with me glare/line flares with Led lamps and street lights as you describe. Although annoying, it was less so than the Maddox Rod effect that I had in my right eye. Now, well over a year since I had the Yag in July 2024, I don't know if it so much that the lines/flares have become less as how my brain has adapted to it. I really don't think about the glare/flares anymore unless I consciously think about it. I always thoughts this 'neuro-adaptation' was just medicalese for 'learn to live with it', but there is something to it. My point is that I think overtime the 'light effects' will become less annoying to you. When your vision is affected by PCO (posterior capsular opacification) you really have no choice but to undergo the YAG which was my situation, along with the fact I wanted to eliminate the annoying Maddox Rod effect in my right eye. Best wishes
