streaks of light after yag procedure

Had cataract surgery 12/2004, YAG procedure 12/12/2008 due to 'secondary cataract'. Vision was great, then had pupil dilated on 01/09/2009 during eye exam by a second doc for cataract consultation. Now, I notice that I see streaks of light at night - from oncoming headlights and street lights.  I hadn't had them before - now, I'm concerned that I should not have had my exam so soon after the YAG.  Could the dilation have caused some additional problem?  Will these streaks remain?  From this site, I see that there might be complications from dilation, which I had never heard of before.  Will call my doc and try to see him over the next few days, but am worried.

I doubt the dilation caused this problem.  Dilation problem are usually in patient who have not had cataract surgery.  The dilation was 5 days ago, you could have had problems that night while the pupil was still dilated.  However, pupil should have returned to normal by now.

Any cures for star bursts after yag surgery.  Total laser show at night from other cars, street lights, house lights, and signal lights.  My eye clinic says starbursts are very rare from yag.  Mine happen after 2nd eye yag.  They redid yag for free. Still have other eye to go.  They are saying if this does not work they have to reduce pupil at night, but can only help starbursts 10 to 50%.
