Hello, are you still having these same side effects? I had my cataract surgery at the end of 2021 and am having similar PD symptoms to what you describe. I have done a lot of research and have reached out to several specialists. If you are better that is great, please share what your current status is an how you resolved. If not and you would like to hear what I am trying let me know.

Yes, I have the same PD symptoms (temporal lights streaks being the worst).

Summary of ineffective treatments I tried: photochromic contact lenses, miotic eyedrops, Vuity eyedrops. None were helpful.

Note: For my cataract surgery in 2019, I went with traditional/insurance-covered IOL and that provided correction for distance vision BUT NOT for astigmatism (mine is 50). Since I can’t see signs well enough when driving, optometrist gave me toric contact lens that allows me to read signs. My PD remains and I attribute to the shortfalls of the IOL they used, Alcon SN60WF. I will, definitely, have a different IOL (and, surgeon) when I have my right eye done.

Any insight you have on PD is much appreciated!
