For: Michael J Kutryb, MD - Sunbursts after cataract surgery

[Rita732]

I had Crystalens surgery 4 months ago.  About 6 weeks ago my surgeon did a YAG on my right eye.  I now see "starbursts" at night when I look at street lights, car lights, etc.  My doctor said it's because the lens were not big enough to cover the whole eye and she would "fix" it next week.  I talked to my optomotrist (sp?) and he said the reason for the starbursts was because she didn't measure my eye correctly before surgery.  Could this be true?  And if so, can she really fix it...meaning do something so I don't see them anymore while night driving?  I see the sunbursts in a complete circle.

Also, did the YAG have anything to do with this?  She is going to do LASIK on my left eye because a film developed over my lens.  Is a YAG and LASIK the same thing?

Thank you.

Thanks for caring...
