Halo and starburst in vision?

Hi, I have a problem with my vision, though I can read and see clearly, even in the dark, but my concern is that am seeing halo and starburst in my vision. What am thinking the problem could be is, sometimes when am taking my bath, I got soap in my eyes, then I wash it out, I don't know if that's the problem. I need help, please. Thank you.

You should visit your ophthalmologist for a complete eye examination to identify the cause of your problem.
Need a thorough eye examination
See your eye doctor. Seems likely inflammation.
It could be due to eye surface disturbance. If it persists, you should see a doctor.
You need to see an eye doctor for a dilated eye exam. It could be something simple or something serious. There are inflammatory corneal problems, retinal problems, vitreous issues, etc. If the soap caused the halos and starburst, it would have cleared up within a day or two.
There are many possible causes of halos and starburst, sometimes these are normal based on your eyes. It would require an eye exam to determine the cause if it is identifiable.
