Same problems as hurting blue eyes

My Mom is having the same symtoms after cataract surgery as hurting blue eyes.  
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Eye-Care/Extreme-light-glare-sensitivity---Photophobia---after-catract-surgery-/show/481356

She had surgery in may of 2008 and has extrem light sensitivity and in the last year severe migranes.  She has been seen by 3 doctors in seattle area that say the surgery was uneventfuly.  One did treat her for dry eyes with Restasic and thera tears.  She had oil ducts that were a little plugged but all of this has been taken care of.  She is still taken eye drops.

We are considering going to Bascom Palmer in Miami for help.  She barley can make it through a day and is very frustrated and just wants her vision back.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

That is one of the best IOLs out there and not a premium IOL.

Maybe you should head out to BP

If you mother had a "premium" IOL put in the eye ReZoom, ReStor or Crystalens then this could represent an extreme form of IOL induced dysphotopsia.

If you want to go out of area BP in Miami is one of the best in the world.
