Positive Photopsia after YAG Capsulotomy

Hi, I’m still having those starbursts now, but they slightly decreased over time. It’s a complicated story, but I have light adjustable lenses that required a few time spaced adjustment sessions after the Yag, so that’s why I took a long time to reply to you. My doctor says that the capsule pierced hole is too narrow and that could cause the starbursts. He promised to slightly enlarge it after all my adjustments and lock-in are done, which leads me to after the holidays. I’ll let you know by then.

Please let me know. I asked my doctor about the yag hole sizes, and she said they were fine. She has no idea where the starbursts are coming from. By any chance did you undergo any vitreous changes? PVD, etc.? Thank you

I have the LAL lens, had a diagonal line after surgery in both eyes, which solved prior to adjustment. Had one adjustment to achieve mini monovision. However, had blurriness, DR recommended YAG, done one month past last surgery. Immediately had overwhelming starbursts at night, they see nothing wrong. Will have final adjustments soon. Cannot drive at night due to starbursts. So discouraged.

Have your starbursts resolved and what procedure was used to resolve?
