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!

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.
