Positive Dysphotopsia after Cataract Surgery

I am new to this site, and am getting lots of valuable information.
On 3/6/23, I had left eye cataract surgery, and opted for the standard J&J DBBOO IOL as recommended by my surgeon. The result was Positive Dysphotopsia which went from a single "bar" (on a clock, it ran as 10 to 4). The surgeon who did my husband's two cataract surgeries did my Yag, and was optimistic that he would solve my PD. Following a corrective Yag surgery on 5/25, the PD is now an X.
I sought a second opinion with a Wills Eye Surgeon who said he would have recommended the same IOL.
I've read that this IOL has an edge that can result in PD. So, it's a roulette wheel as to who is impacted.
I am in a holding pattern on my right eye cataract.

I developed the same (maddox rod effect?) recently. I'm also in a holding pattern with regard to yag and second eye. How have things progressed with you?
