I had cataract surgery on my left eye just over a year ago. The outcome wasn't great, most likely from miscalculation for the IOL. My vision was improved, and I can see well enough to avoid walking into the broad side of a barn. With eyeglasses I can see just fine, though. About 5 months ago I had the right eye done with great results--probably close to 20/20, but the eyeglasses I finally got after having both eyes done have a slight correction, the left has more correction. I wish both eyes had the same outcome, but it didn't happen that way.
I have a halo at night in the left eye. It's only when there is total darkness and my eyes are very dilated that I notice the halo. This happens most nights when I crawl through the darkness to the bathroom and the neighbor's backyard security light shines into my room. The odd thing is, there is no halo in the other eye. It's annoying, and I fixate on it once in a while, but I'm coping. I don't seem to notice it when I'm out peddling my bike home in the dark, most likely because there is still quite a bit of ambient light and the pupil of the left eye isn't dilated much.
My question is, what procedures are available to correct this halo? Also, what procedures are available to improve vision in the eye that didn't come out so well. Lasik? Remove the IOL and put in another one? As I mentioned above, I'd really hugely enjoy having the clarity of vision I have in the left eye as I have in the right eye.
Thanks for any input.
