Did the halos start the day after surgery, or did they develop in the following weeks/months? I developed starbursts and halos within a couple weeks/months of my cataract surgery. I, additionally, had the Positive Dysphotopsia (characterized by chronic temporal light streaks from external light sources) immediately after the cataract surgery. My doctors diagnosed the PCO (posterior capsular opacity) or “secondary cataract” as the reason for my starbursts and poorer vision. Many post cataract patients get a posterior capsulotomy to correct secondary cataracts (usually, done with YAG lazer). Procedure takes only a few minutes in doctor’s office. Guess I’d say I hope your halos are because of a developing PCO that can be corrected with an easy procedure by your doctor. Go to see them and good luck!
