LED lights (WOW)

[wheelnut]

obviously grew up in the 60's lol

I do get the halo effect from street lights and car lights at night, but nothing like you describe.

See it is a funny thing i talk about this problem i have with LED lights and it seems most of you also have a roblem with street lights and car lights, which i dont get at all myself.

I used to think that the way lights looked really pretty was a positive advantage of KC.

Post graft the effect may continue at least until the sutures have been removed as they will hold the new cornea in an artificially steep astigmatism, mimicing the 'cone' typical of KC, although there will be no scarring of the cornea surface.

I also particularly liked the way in which the prysmatic nature of the cone would bend and split the light around lamps, etc. This not only meant that I got to enjoy several times as many lamps as were actually in the room, but to see various sorts of spectrums (I take the view that spectrums is the correct plural and not spectra) depending on the gas inside the light source.

Still, for all that, I'd rather live with the improved sight that surgery has given me. I can always remember how things used to look!

Per,

The effect of moving lights, halos etc depends on the smoothness of the graft and the location of the graft material.

Centrally everything went back to normal post graft, now I have the rare post graft KC problem, the cone is off centre so allowing my lenses a lot of movement that helps with the floating LED's. Not quite so bad without lenses, but that probably my brain deciding which eye to take information from.

Ok, I see. Found it strange since this disappeared post graft both times with me. And to be honest, I never really saw the beauty in it. Six years in the graft-queue and only beauty to see in the meatime is the Christmas-tree every year ? Glad to have had it done!
