What Causes To See Starbursts Around Lights After Diagnosed With Whiplash?

Ever since I was involved in a rear end collision and was diagnosed with whiplash, I see starbursts around lights at nightime. My opthamalogists can't find any indication as to why this came on suddenly.



Do you know what might be causing this problem?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having seeing starbursts or colored halos around lights following a collission injury.
This symptom usually indicates corneal edema as a result of injury.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination to find out the causes like corneal edema and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
