Seeing purple at night

I have had laser surgery to correct CSR in my left eye.  Over the past two weeks I have noticed a purple hue when driving at night.  It seems to come from car lights and is a deep purple color.  During the day I will notice fleeting light purple dots off in my peripheral vision as well.  Is this a normal side affect of CSR or laser therapy?  I had the laser about 4 months ago.  Will it ever go away?

I was told the CSR is healed and there is no further leaking.  He checked my eyes and stated I now have PVD (completely detached).  Can this be the cause of the purple I see at night??

I don't think this is common.  I have not lasered a CSR in years. I would probably inject.

I go on Thursday to get a recheck.  I was just curious if it is typical to get this kind of issue while healing from CSR or is this possibly something else?

You should see your doctor since this is new.
