Starbursts, or a series of concentric rays or fine filaments radiating from bright lights, may be caused by refractive defects in the eye. Starbursts around light are especially visible at night, and may be caused by eye conditions such as cataract or corneal swelling, or may be a complication of eye surgery.
Starbursts aren't always serious, but they can be a sign of an eye problem that needs to be treated quickly. If you start to notice starbursts in your vision, schedule an appointment with an eye doctor.
Enlarged pupils may be treated with eye drops that shrink the pupil. Glasses with coated anti-reflective lenses may eliminate the glare of sunbursts and improve night vision. Special contact lenses may need to be worn at night to reduce the glare of starbursts.
Does everyone see starbursts around lights? If you mean does a single very small light look slightly like a star, then most adults will see something of the sort (a few lucky people - mainly young - may see the star as a point).
When light bends as it enters your eye — called diffraction — your eyes perceive that halo effect. This can be caused by a number of different things. Sometimes it's a response to bright lights, especially if you wear glasses or contact lenses to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.

Answer: Dry eye and star bursts
Dry eye and inflammation can definitely cause starbursts. When the treatment is effective, the starbursts should dramatically improve.
The most popular theory for the cause of a starburst is that it is triggered by a close encounter or collision with another galaxy. This collision sends shock waves rushing through the galaxy. These shock waves push on giant clouds of gas and dust, causing them to collapse and form a few hundred stars.
"Starburst" is a particular type of aberration where light rays spread out in some (or all) directions from a point source of light. It is a common distortion in vision from irregularities in the cornea (very common from the radial linear scars in RK surgery).
Glare — Astigmatism may cause a halo- or starburst-like effect to appear around lights and make driving at night difficult.
Some may only see halos and starbursts for a few days while for others, they may persist for longer. But, to whatever extent they occur, you can be assured that they are just temporary and are all part of the eye's natural healing process. Typically swelling takes around three months to settle fully.
Yes, prescription glasses will help with astigmatism symptoms that affect your night vision. If you see halos, starburst patterns, or blurriness around lights at night, then wearing glasses should eliminate or dramatically reduce these distortions.
Astigmatism can distort lights in several ways, and instead of a clear image, you might see: Streaky lights. Haloed lights. Blurry lights.
How Does Astigmatism Affect Your Vision at Night? People with astigmatism often report that it is more difficult to see and focus at night than during the day. The reason for this is that the pupil dilates in low light to allow more light into the eye to see.
If you experience a partial or complete loss of vision or persistent flashing it's important to see an optometrist or GP, or contact NHS 111 urgently, particularly when it occurs for the first time.
Dehydration is another cause of eye floaters. The vitreous humour in your eyes is made of 98% of water. If you're constantly dehydrated, this gel-like substance can lose shape or shrink. This can lead to the occurrence of floaters because the proteins in this substance do not remain dissolved and thus, they solidify.
When it's not getting enough blood, the brain may not function well. Postural hypotension is a sudden drop in blood pressure. The decrease in blood supply can make a person see stars or flashing lights for a few seconds.
Astigmatism can cause blurry or distorted vision, headaches, and eyestrain. With astigmatism, you may see more glare around lights at night, which can cause difficulty driving. If you have been diagnosed with astigmatism, there are ways you can ease your symptoms and improve your night vision.
Anxiety commonly leads to various vision distortions.
Elevated adrenaline levels puts pressure on the eyes and can result in blurred vision. Visual irregularities like seeing stars, shadows or flashing spots can occur as a result of anxiety onset.
Mars Wrigley has confirmed it has made the “difficult decision” to discontinue its Starburst brand from the Australian market. The iconic lolly brand was removed from Australia in June because of rising production costs, much to the consternation of fans of the fruit-flavoured chew Starburst.
There is just no nutritional value here, friends — zero grams of dietary fiber, no protein and high in sugar. Similar to Skittles, Starbursts packs 34 grams of sugar in that package that you end up eating before the movie even starts.
Retro-sweet lovers are in for a nostalgic treat as Starburst has gone back to its original name and become Opal Fruits - 22 years after they were rebranded. And the best news is that fans can now get their hands on a bag from stores including Poundland, B&M, Home Bargains, Iceland and Savers.
#2: Halos Around Lights
When looking at lights, people with glaucoma will see a rainbow-colored circle around them. Some people will not even be able to look at the light to see the halo, which is another sign of glaucoma that has advanced from the halo stage.
Starburst/Jagged Pupils
This is a very common condition in the eyes of double merles. The pupil will be shaped with spiked, jagged, or irregular edges. This does not allow the pupil to react normally to light and can cause a light sensitivity for the dog.
Inadequate insulin levels in the body can lead to decreased tear production. High blood glucose can damage nerves throughout your eyes, including the nerves in the lacrimal gland and nerves on the eyes clear window, called the cornea. These nerves are necessary for tears to “stick” to the front surface of the eye.
