starbursts after cataract surgery has anyone been diagnosed with Dysphotopsia?
Posted , 9 users are following.
After 5 long years the 10th doctor said Dysphotopsia is what I have.. and still the doctor decides I need blockers injected in the back of my head. I am so frustrated that I can not get any doctor to listen to help reduce the starbursts . Has anyone found a solution, other then lens replacement. pilocarpine 2% doesn't work well enough anymore for me .

Try prosthetic contact lenses. They have a black iris with a smaller clear part so less light coming inside your eyes and no side unfocused lights (the worst, causing photophobia).

Don't get me wrong, but this is bullsh.t. Prosthetic contact lenses block your field of vision, you look like an alien and it's not a solution at all. I've tried this desperate step but it won't work.

I'm sorry the lens did not work for you. I'm going to check them out and cross my fingers and hope for the best 😃

if the clear area is less than 6mm in diameter then in theory it should work.

I tried several different versions of custom contact lenses, made to match the color of my eye, but I too found that they hindered my peripheral vision in a way that would've made it dangerous to drive. If you do happen to find one that is helpful, please do share the specifics of what worked. Thank you.
