hey doc , my eye problem is that if am in a dark room and thers a light on like t.v on the tv ill see outerlines! 2: if am out side at night and if i look at the streetlight they all like a big star they not in once place they spread out same as car head lights, well i found a way to fix it for 3-5 sec to fix it all i do it look at something very bright like a computer screen or my moble screen very bright and it gose away but it will ageain come back!

i seen a lot of doctors more than 10 and they all said my eye was fine :/ i told em everything and everytime they put the light on me for long time it gose away :( so they don't know what it is!

so doc what do u think it is, or it might be, just tell me what u think  it is so i can tell the doc , now i had this over a year :(

If more than 2 of the "doctors" you saw were opthalmologist Eye MDs and they did not turn up anything then I have no further thoughts about what might be causing this.

Did you see an eye MD, an ophthalmologist?

The doctor here will answer you as soon as he can.

hello,
In a dark environment your pupil will dialate and as this happens your vision will be affected by higher order aberations.Everyone has higher order aberations to a lesser or greater degree, it could be you have very slight astigmatism also,again many ppl do have a small amount of astigmatism but get by fine without glasses or contacts,

what you are describing viewing at night with streetlights is a natural variant known as the 'ciliary coronis' which is sometimes mislabeled as 'starbursting'

I think you are fine,just too aware of your vision,
