Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

I'm also curious about the incidence of PD with the use of laser assist vs bladed surgery. I opted for laser, it probably has no bearing since it's thought to be the material and shape of the lens replacement, but I am curious. Saw my opthalmologist yesterday and he said no one knows why or how some people get PD, that they just do. At my one month post op visit we test for new eyeglass RX and he said that a new RX (if needed) may calm down the streaks. Needless to say I won't be doing my other eye any time soon.

I’m sorry I had both mine done so close together. Ask him YAG SURGERY and silicone piggyback.

For starters, are your eyes of a light color? The square edge of IOL may be a factor, but this “light eye thing” may be something too. I don’t know; ophthalmologists are too inclined to educate patients.

In answer to your question about laser assist vs blade, I have the maddox rod effect after bladed surgery. How are you doing now? I hope you have noticed some improvement with or without yag surgery. I was interested to read that your doctor suggested that glasses might calm down the streaks. Did you find that was correct?
