Thank you. I can really empathize with you. You hear some people say after cataract surgery, “I see better than when I was 20!” or “I see perfectly.” You want it to be you (I want that to be me!). I have seen other doctors in my Pittsburgh, PA area for these problems, but they have no easy answers. I try to research online groups/forums. I, also, research cataract surgeons in other parts of the country (or, even outside the US) that have more experience with post cataract surgery problems and positive dysphotopsia, in particular. I don’t feel like I’m ready to travel in search of the “holy grail”, at least, yet.

My optometrist gave me miotic drops to shrink the left pupil a few months ago, but that was of no help. He is not really a proponent of their long term use because of side effects. So, I am going to try the photochromic lens (Acuvue Transitions) when my optometrist gets them to see if it calms these dysphotopsias at all.
