Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

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!

Hi Bobbyo, Were you able to have your right eye cataract removed and replaced with an IOL? If so, I hope all went well.

I have the same Alcon lens in both eyes. Regret it horribly. At the 3:00 and 6:00 position I have extreme light streaks from cars, streetlights, house exterior lights. These streaks extend way out. Any light source creates a glare or problem. Even my interior home lights have glare. This has become life changing for me. I cannot drive at night and dread even walking my dog at night due to the street lights. I thought that once I had my second eye done that it might mitigate the problems, it only made it worse. If anyone has any suggestions please post them. This is very depressing.
