What Causes Rainbow Halos In The Vision?

10 months ago while watching tv I started to see rainbow halos in my vision. After about ten to fifteen minutes it went away and I didn't give it another thought. This week it has happened again, twice, same duration. I just had an eye examine one week ago and all was fine?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having colored halos. Colored halos are because of corneal edema caused by glaucoma or because of early cataract.
Hence colored halos require evaluation by examination by a ophthalmologist to look for cataract or measurement of intraocular pressure to rule out glaucoma.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
