What Causes Glare In Eye?

It seems like my left eye has a glare problem. I thought my contact was somehow messed up, but when I took it out, the problem didn't go away. Everything seems bright white - like there is a glare off of everything around me. And it's only in my left eye. How can I fix this?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
hello,

One of the possibilities is that of corneal edema. There could have been a tiny abrasion in the cornea causing hydration of the cornea. This can lead to glare. Use lubricating eye drops for a week and refrain from wearing contact lenses for a week. However consult your ophthalmologist if the vision does not improve.

Regards
