I am extremely sensitive to light. A fog grows more dense the longer I am exposed to light. I am having difficulty reading this screen due to the light background of the black letters. The longer I look at it the worse it becomes.
I had Covid in October 2021. This is when the problem exacerbated. It started immediately after cataract surgery December 2020. I was not warned of this effect or I would not have had the surgery.
Dry eyes were sever, but much better using Tyrvaya nos spray. It works for me!
My ophthalmologist says there is nothing wrong with my eyes. I tell him it is in my brain and I want a referral to a neuro-opthomologist. He said he would see if he could find one. Have not heard from him in over a month.
Help! I am at wits end.

Hi @daviddennis123, Sorry to hear about your vision problem. You mentioned that it started after your cataract surgery. You might want to contact the surgeon who did your cataract surgery. I think blurry vision is a fairly common occurrence after cataract surgery with 15 to 20% of people who had the surgery. I had the problem with my right eye a year or so after my cataract surgery and the surgeon performed a YAG capsulotomy which correct the vision problem. Here's some information on the topic:
