Experiencing glare after cataract surgery is a common concern for many patients. This visual disturbance typically occurs due to the healing process or changes in the eye’s lens following surgery. In some cases, glare can be more noticeable at night or in bright light, affecting activities like driving. It may also occur if the intraocular lens (IOL) used during surgery has certain properties, such as high contrast or a multifocal design. While glare often improves with time as the eye heals, discussing any ongoing issues with your eye doctor is important. They can offer solutions or adjustments to improve your comfort.
