Night vision after cataract surgery

Night vision after cataract surgery

I had cataract surgery with a corrective lens in right eye several months ago. Had to have the laser YAG because of blury vision. Outside vision during daylight improved greatly, tho not quite as good as I would like. Night vision while watching TV is not that well and long distance night time vision is even worse, especially driving. I was told that I had a wrinkle and that it could get better or worse. Possible options were getting glasses at night or having ths surgery done over again, which requires a much larger incision and most likely stitches. Thinking of getting a second opinion.

A second opinion is a good idea.  Where is the wrinkle?

They did not mention the exact location of the wrinkle.
Lines also appear wavy with the right eye.

Re wavy lines, Find out of the wrinkle is on the retina in the back of the eye
, it  can also be called a pucker, or macular pucker (macula being  the central area of the retina). If you have this, you might see straight lines as wavy.  An Amsler Grid test would confirm if you get a second opinion.  Then you should see a retina specialist to see if, when and how it should be treated.
I had retina problems after cataract surgery. A second opinion by a cataract surgeon discovered this.   I don't understand that you were told another cataract surgery could improve your wavy lines, so prob a good suggestion to get a second opinion.
