I have my eyes dilated a month ago, Since that i have starbrusts even at daytime as reflections on any surface , more glare and streaks coming from light while blinking , Doctors say it's not related by dilation but i'm sure they started just after the eye test?

Any one have reason or treatment option ??

I have the same problem, it started years ago, after having my pupils dilated that glare got worse. Have not found\offered any treatment as it seems the reason is that I have dry MD and Sjogren's Syndrome (an autoimmune disease - dry eyes and dry mouth).

Are you having same symptoms as daytime and night starbrusts and streaks from light while blinking beside glare too or just glare??

halos around every light, that is traffic lights, street lights, car head lights, indoor lights I get reflective glare from every reflective surface including cutlery and if sunlight catches the surface of water like, puddles I have to avoid looking .
