Seeing beams of light stretching from car head light and street light.

[VC89]

Have this problem for around 2 weeks, now. Every time I look at street light or car light there is few long beams of light stretching down.  And in the dark when I look at the monitor there is like a reflection or shadow below it. Once I open my eyes more, the beam and the shadow is almost completely gone. Is this serious?? Went to the optometrist she say I'm nearsighted but and getting glasses next week. Could this be a prescription problem. Thanks

Hi,

My girlfriend has been experiencing the same issues for about 2 months. We went to several MDs, but no diagnosis or proposed treatment so far.

Have you found a solution/cause of your problem?    

I'm looking forward for any replies!

Thank you!

I got it too.... I have it almost 2 years. I was trying to forget about this problem with streaks, beams from light sources (especially from TV, car lights), becouse doctors couldn't help me ( all was ok...), but it's impossible to forget. It is hard to live with that. So... maybe someone found a solution ??? All was started when i was getting floaters.

Do you still have this issue? I have similar symptoms, which started after I got floaters. Been to a few ophthalmologists who don't see anything wrong.

These are the possibilities:  refractive error such as myopia, astigmatism or farsighted; improper correction of these with glasses or contact; corneal disease especially irregular astigmatism or corneal loss of clarity; cataract formation, macular disease.

Thx for answer Doctor. I have myopia, it's -5,5 on right eye and -6 on left eye, and i have little astigmatism, but it's 0,25 or 0,5.  Can you explain why when i am opening my eyes wide, i can eliminate this strikes and beams, but when i am blinking it's longer. This strikes,beams seems looks this https://imageshack.com/i/p5ZXlab1j

It looks like Keratoconus symptoms, but doctor examined me and he said i dont have this. Can Vitreous cause it ???Hope you can understand me, my English is not perfect ;].

Your description strongly suggests a corneal cause.  Be sure you have had a corneal topography test. JCH MD
