Eye symptoms: If four specialists who know your history and examined you are not able to determine cause, I am not so sure that on-line providers who don't know you will be able to tell you. Take care.

Glare Sensitivity : Good day; Sensitive to streetlight and rainbow glare while driving to oncoming cars were symptomatic of cataracts. I had theses symptoms and they were corrected by cataract surgery. Good luck.
