I'm sorry bobbyo. I know this must be very frustrating for you. In all my research I came up with the same thing -- it comes down to the type of lens used, square vs round and silicone vs acrylic. Interesting about the pigment dispersion, I have blue eyes too. Maybe in your case it will get better with time. My situation is exactly the same, canned lights in the ceiling, chandeliers, over head lights in stores, even the angle of when the sun comes through my dining window, the streak occurs. Praying for you that it will smooth out and/or reach a tolerable level. Thank you for sharing this information. It's helpful.

Thanks for your kind thoughts poc1115. They HAVE NOT diagnosed the pigment dispersion syndrome in eye #1, so maybe the PD is caused by the reflections off the square edges of the SN60. So, even with them honoring my request to use the B & L round edge silicone on eye #2, I’m left with PD on it too…. Maybe it’s the pigment dispersion problem or the blue eyes. They shrug there shoulders.

I appreciate your specific description of your positive dysphotopsia and how those situations mirror mine. Yes, it was interesting how the optometrist mentioned how ONLY his blue-eyed patients seem to struggle with PD. Anyhow, no answers for my problems but, I too, hope the symptoms settle down (or, tolerance increases) over time. Sure hope you find improvement too. Thanks so much!
