Increase glare in my eyes

2026-09-25 18:09:28
I’ve had increasing flare/glare for the past ~2 months. I notice it more while driving at night, especially with bright lights, and sometimes with blue/bright lights. I also experience some disorientation/distortion when looking at many fine lines together, such as in elevators or patterned areas. I recently visited an eye hospital. My prescription was: Right: −6.00 SPH, −1.00 CYL × 10° Left: −3.25 SPH, −0.75 CYL × 160° They checked my eye ,did a scan  and did a dilated examination, and the senior doctor discussed IPCL/ICL as an option for my refractive power. However, I’m not particularly interested in refractive surgery just to avoid glasses. My main concern is understanding why this flare/glare has increased recently and whether there is an underlying eye problem causing these symptoms. What tests or evaluations would be appropriate to identify the cause?

The symptoms may be due to dry eye, refractive changes, corneal irregularity, A slit-lamp examination, refraction and corneal/lens assessment can help identify the cause. OCT macula should also be done.
