Halo Around Lights?

[mongchichi]

I am a 25 years old female that has never experienced any eyesight problems from day one I was born.  Always had 20/20 vision and never needed corrective lenses.  For the past year I have experienced a halo or haze around street lights, car front/tail lights, etc.  My visions is very clear other than the halo/haze.  When the halo/haze occurs I test my vision by reading text of every size and variance of distances on street signs, license plates, etc.  All text and objects are clear in color and focus, just as they should be.  I had gone to the eye doctor 2 months ago, because I have been experiencing the halo/haze more frequently within the past 6-8 months.  The doctor seemed to have given me a very extensive eye exam, because of my concerns of the halo/haze.  I have cataract as well as glaucoma the runs in my family in my Mothers Father and my Father's Father. The doctor was very much aware of this during my exam and he tested my eye with various methods for cataract/glaucoma, and found nothing wrong with my eyesight.  He recommended that I try "liquid tears," to test if that alleviated the symptoms.  I tried the drops and there is no success.  I work 8-10 hours 5 days a week in front of a computer, under regular office flood lighting.  During the exam the doctor was not able to make the symptoms happen with any of his tests and he felt I was young with no worries of cataract nor glaucoma.  The halo/haze is not painful at all, it's more of a major nu sense especially when I am driving with street lights, car lights, lit signs and skyscrapers.  Please help me!  This obviously is not normal, and I am very scarred that my eyes will be permanently damaged if what I am experiencing is not treated ASAP!  What should I do?  Who should I see?  Does anyone else have this problem?

Interesting discussion.  I am 64 years of age, caucasian male,  and have had "sparks" in my vision for several years and still get them at times.  I recently have been experiencing the halo effect around lights at night too.  This started, interestingly enough, immediately following cataract surgery in March 2015 and is accompanied by the other common symptoms related here.  In addition I also have wide-angle gloucoma in both eyes.

My ophthamologist naturally has thoroughly checked my vision and eye health.  She did the surgery at a very well respected teaching hospital here in Toronto where she is practises.  In retrospect, I suppose it could be possible that I introduced an infection  while instilling the eye drops.  I need to get this checked out.

Thanks to all for the information.

No, I don't think that's the problem since this happens to me as well. Not scared. I don't work on the computer as much, very light to none at all for days sometimes weeks. So I don't think that this is the answer. Thank you.

dear fellow sufferer,  I have developed halos too. I'm 57. People when posting should reveal age more. Anyway, I think it is from computers. I have to study further, but that is what I think. I have been reading posts of too many people seeing halos. Either it's computers or it's the type of lights they are using now. I mean lights in car headlights and in street lamp posts. That's where I see it. I have had my eyes checked too and they can find nothing. So, what gives?

You have nothing better to do than argue with a 4 1/2 year old post?
Life must be dull living under that bridge.

vision problems are a medical and as I 'stair' at your post it is obvious you are not an ophthalmologist so do not give people medical advice
