First, I am sorry if I am redundant relative to my previous posts.

I am certainly sorry for your surgery result. Is it fair to say that the left had the light streaks immediately after your surgery, but it wasn’t yet as noticeable since you weren’t driving at night yet? How do you think your right eye surgery turned out?

As a parallel to your initial months post surgery, here were mine: I noticed better distance vision immediately, but I “babied it” in the initial days/weeks and was avoiding night driving entirely. In the first 2 weeks post surgery, I got very concerned about large influx of floaters and had to run back to doctor to a retinal tear repaired. Over the next few months, I struggled with the streaks AND the substantial floaters AND a gradual worsening of acuity/onset of starbursts around light sources (that deterioration caused by quick growth of PCO). In Dec 2020, doctors proposed remedying my PCO (in my case with vitrector) during a vitrectomy and this MAY also cure get rid of my temporal light streaks. Sooo, I had vitrectomy and surgery on PCO that yielded big help on floaters and acuity BUT the positive dysphotopsia/temporal lights streaks. In last year, this condition is worse, is anything.

Treatment and exploration for treatment update:
- I have struggled to see road signs at night. Since I have very slight astigmatism (50), my optometrist gave me a toric contact lens that has helped me a little.
- My former company has a medical review/2nd opinion service that has begun compilation of my eye doctor/surgery records. It is They will develop a plan of best action and referral. Supposedly, they consult the “best of the best” in the country. I have found my search for specialists to be difficult, so I’m hopeful that they can guide me to someone who can help me 1.) with my left eye dysphotopsia and 2. with dysphotopsia avoidance of measures for my impending right cataract surgery. I will update!
