Hello there,
I've been free of worry from my visual issues for a couple of months now - mainly because I forgot about them after getting a blood test for diabetes which came back clear and having a doctor check my eyes in September, numerous visits to the opticians throughout the year since February.
Now with the darker evenings I'm noticing my issues more - mainly the halo glow/soft globe around streetlights and car headlights which looks something like this - http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=45678.0;attach=169 23;image
I was diagnosed with astigmatisms in both eyes in Feb and I suffer from ghosting of white text on dark backgrounds, starbursts around points of light (most noticeable on single LED dots like the Apple TV white dot to signal it's on, the green LED light on my Mac charger) and the halos around streetlights which I'm not sure if they've always been like this or they're getting worse.
I've got myself worked up thinking it's cataracts or the early onset of them as from time to time when working at my computer I'll feel a little blurriness that I'll need to blink or rub my eye slightly to resolve. Would cataracts always be there? i.e Should early cataracts disappear with blinking? This page has me worries (the last point about blinking to clear vision) - http://www.cataracteye.com/symptoms.html
Agh, I'm so annoyed that I'm slipping back into worry, I was doing so well.
Thank you for listening.
