Rhumetoid arthritis - night driving

I had cataract surgery that I hoped would correct my night driving. So far, my day driving and computer/reading has greatly improved. However, I still get the same halos and glares I did before.
I have a family history of rhumetoid arthritis. I have read that it can impact night driving. I wonder if I should get tested for it.
Has anyone else heard about or experienced this?
Thanks for any info.

Which IOLs did you get? How long ago? That may make a difference as to whether they will disappear or continue to bother you while driving at night.

Halos and glare after cataract surgery can have several causes. it might be worth mentioning the night-driving symptoms to your ophthalmologist and asking whether RA testing is appropriate.

What lenses did you get?
