I began seeing halos around lights through my right eye a few weeks back. the symptom is constant and seems correlated with my jaw pain. optometrist, opthamologist, oral surgeon can't find any obvious issue. what diagnostics do i need?

Halo: I would be reassured if the ophthalmologist found no evidence of glaucoma or cataract. You may have some degree of astigmatism. Ask your ophthalmologist about that possibility. I am not aware of temporomandibular joint dysfunction causing eye symptoms.
