Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

I'm in the same boat. My surgeries were in August of 2022. Acrysoft acrylic single distance monofocal basic lenses. I also have starbursts and diagonal lines through all light sources. Can't drive at night. I had the YAG in the right eye which did address the wrinkle and eliminated the diagonal light ray but not the starburst. Tried drops but they didn't help. Seems only option would be a lens exchange to silicone in left eye that hasn't had YAG. With no guarantees and other possible problems, I am not inclined to do that. Super depressing as I only did this to get better night vision.

I haven’t had YAG although I have a very slight wrinkle in right eye. I’m waiting and trying to avoid any other surgical procedures. I agree lens exchange is risky and with each surgery the “ what if” of a retinal detachment or a replacement lens with even more issues. I’m learning to just live with it. I’ll drive local distances at night ( I’m super careful) but I would never drive far at night.
