After suffering a concussion about six weeks ago, I noticed that I see starbursts around bright lights. Whenever I blink, the light elongates.

I had my eyes checked numerous times (slit lamp exams, ocular tomography scans etc) and they are healthy. I assume the problem is with the brain. I don’t have light sensitivity or blurry vision, though my lazy eye does feel somewhat lazier than usual. I don’t get double vision though, unless my eye squints (happens when I’m very tired).

Anyway, has anyone experiences glare around bright lights as a result of a concussion? Does it get better with time? I’ve noticed the glare isn’t there at all when looking at lights through slightly tinted windows (like on a train). I also don’t have light sensitivity...unless seeing glare is a type of light sensitivity? I always assumed light sensitivity is when light hurts your eyes...but I can look at bright lights without much discomfort, just like before my concussion.
