MONOFOCAL AND TORICLENS IMPLANTS WHY DO I SEE HALOES THE FIRST FEW DAYS AFTER SURGERY?
The best cataract surgery lens implants today have special edge treatments to reduce the chance of “Secondary Cataract” formation. This edge often produces a halo effect or arc of light in the peripheral vision for a few days after surgery. For some patients the symptom takes longer (weeks) to resolve, but rarely is a permanent serious problem. Occasionally, under particular lighting conditions, glare may be noticeable permanently but this is rarely bothersome to the patient. Proper corrective glasses with anti-reflective coating are helpful.
