My Tecnis Problem

i am stuck with Symfony as it has been 4.5 years since surgery. the positive dysphotopsia is best as described by another poster in another thread on this forum. still another member has the same problem with Tecnis monofocal so it is not ring related and the ring related phenomena are not as bothersome. this also is specific to those with large pupils. size of tecnis edge glare is extremely large and the whole iol lights up when the light hits the edge making the entire vision distorted. extremely conflicted on whether it is worth the risk to exchange it out.

"From straight after surgery to now, I appear to have positive dyphotopsias which is disappointing. It’s a lot worse at night in a relatively dimly lit or dark room, a lot of light sources will have either a half-circular arc a fair distance above it. Some have a full thin halo, again a fair distance from the light source rather than right next to it. Some lights will also have light rays extending up to the arc like an open hand-held fan. "
