October 2015 the month I turned 50 lol
some more about me; have been farsighted since 2.5 years old, had lasik for my farsightedness and astigmatisms in 2002. I am in glasses again, but not a strong prescription as prior to that.

I can definitely relate the glare with windows from inside. I’m always bothered by it unless I can’t get away from the source, such as when I watched my daughter play a softball game on a lighted ball field at night. It was quite distracting.
I am currently about 60 hours after my iridotomy and my eyes hurt a great deal. Experiencing light sensitivity and slight ghost vision that I think is getting better.

Unfortunately it happens to some patients. It is called a dysphotopsia. I had bilateral peripheral iridotomies over two years ago and I still have residual crescent of light that I can sometimes see. It is the worst when watching a movie on our big screen TV, when driving in sunlight without sunglasses or when looking directly towards a window that is too bright. I doubt mine will ever change as it has remained essentially the same since fall of 2016. I will say that there have been stretches of time that go by that I don't seem to notice it as much but then later will be bothered again. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this.

I do still have the dysphotopsia but it is not always as noticeable. It is weird. I didn't notice much at all for several months and then it will suddenly be more noticeable in bright sunshine. I don't know why that is so but it isn't very bothersome now.

Hi. Still the same. As long as I don’t look at lights I don’t notice it or it’s just that I’ve gotten used to it.

1 ReactionI do have cataracts -- but most people do after the age of 40. They are not progressing rapidly or a problem.
