Hi, I am new to this group, but so glad I found you all. I thought I was the only one with these horrible symptoms of glare/halos/starbursts/floaters. I actually had surgery with multifocal lenses a few months ago and my doctor said that if he exchanged them for monofocal lenses, the positive dysphotopsia symptoms should go away over time. Well, that has not happened. I have lost my job because I worked at night, lost my career, and I cannot go out of the house at night at all. I have no income and cannot pay my bills. I am single with no kids or family and I I feel like a prisoner in my own home. I am planning to go to the Jules Stein Eye Clinic in Los Angeles, California where I live. They are supposed to be a top notch place and I am praying that someone there can help me. Has anyone with these kinds of positive dysphotopsia symptoms healed and got their vision back over time??? I really need some hope. Thank you! Janismarla

Hi, so you had surgery a few months ago where multifocal lenses were put in both eyes and have already had those exchanged for monofocal lenses. How long ago was the last surgery for the monofocal lenses? Did you go to the Jules Stein Eye Clinic in Los Angeles? If so, what did they say? I sure hope you find a resolution that takes care of these symptoms for you.
