    Could very well be possible. My cataract is one eye is very sensitive ti light. Glass reflects light in our eyes. Cataracts are like crystals in our eyes reflecting light over and over thru the cataract. 

    I wear sunglasses even when watching tv to prevent this. Even reading with glasses the light must be very low .

    you could talk to your eye dr ask for glasses that change when light hit them.

    I had cataract surgery and new lenses implanted and now I cannot get any glasses that I can see through. I am going to go back to have a laser procedure done as my dr says he can see my eyes starting to cloud up. Will post later after I have this done. I can't stand the way my eyes are now. Hope you find some way to get yours right.

    Had normal lense first time and it was the wrong another one later they said it was to be a type for astigmatism. In other words my eye is slightly football shaped. That was bad. Then laser. Nothing helped my vision is worse that it was with the cataracts. Blurry vision double even with glasses. I can't begin to reall you how they get away with hurting patients and not taking responsibility. Really frustrating.

    So now they say I have to have the other eye done . That's not happening anytime soon.
