Has anyone tried the Carl Zeiss i.Scription glasses for post IOL dysphotopsia/starbursts?

Posted , 7 users are following.

In my attempt to see if I can tone down my starburst from oncoming headlights and concentric circles for brakelights, etc., I stumbled across these glasses online. Has anyone tried them and can share if they were helpful or for that matter any other glasses? I'm trying seeing if I can live with the dysphotopsia as opposed to exchange surgery, which I am also considering. Thanks.

    I have not tried those but I have a lot of negative side effects from my multi-focal and I use Raybans with the grey gradient lens. It is very light lens, at times I can barely tell I am wearing sunglasses, but it really helps. I use them when looking at a computer screen, outside, sometimes when i'm inside etc.

      Thank you Kevin. I had been using grey sunglasses with about 10% relief but someone on this blog suggested blue lens and they work a bit more for me - about 15% relief.

    How clean is your vehicle windshield? There are videos on YouTube on why and how to clean that big lens.

    Rubbing alcohol followed by Invisible Glass glass cleaner really cut down on the dazzle from oncoming lights for me. I'm dealing with cataracts at this time but I thought this information might be of use to you too.

      Paul, my issue has nothing to do with the windshield and occurs outside the car too. Thanks.
