Question 1

is there any solution for halos of icl surgery like glasses or surgery or laser coz i feel uncomfortable with pilocarpin   :((?

Accepted Answer

options: Range from anti-reflective coating on glasses, amber or blue-blocker glasses to removal and replacement of the intraocular lens.  You could also try diluting the Pilocarpine to see if that helps to reduce side effects.

Question 2

how common is seeing large halos after doing cataract surgery ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Halos are common around light for the first 24-48 hours and is due to swelling and dryness of the cornea following surgery.  This typically subsides quickly.  Some people have star-bursting / halos / glare as a side affect of artificial lenses, but is uncommon.

Question 3

i see stars and halos after a cataract surgery after a year. isit normal?

Accepted Answer

Can happen!: Depending on what other issues with the eyes exist, this can happen.  If there has been some previous corneal surgeries such as rk or laser eye surgery (lasik) his can happen.  Also the compatibility of the wavefront of your eye and the implant is another issue.  Suggest seeing your surgeon.  You may have also started developing posterior capsular fibrosis which may easily be lasered clean!

Question 4

Accepted Answer

ICL and. halos: Could be results of surgery. Ask your ophthalmologist.

Question 5

cataract/lazik surgery 1 yr. ago. still seeing halos day and night.  ?

Accepted Answer

Halos: This is not unusual depending on the size of your pupil, the type of lens implant and the size of the optical zone used in the lasik surgery.  Best see the doctor who did the surgery to address your concerns.

Question 6

hi, i have done my lasik surgery 3 weeks before but still see starbust and glare and halos. is it normal? is this problem correct after some time?

Accepted Answer

Probably go away: Some patients can get glare and halos at night after lasik surgery. They usually go away within the first 2-3 months, especially if you had a custom lasik procedure.  If they persist more than 3 months, you definitely need to discuss with your surgeon.

Question 7

i had cataract surgery 2years ago. but now at night the headlights from other cars have halos around yhem. what is happening?

Accepted Answer

Haloes: If the haloes are new, then i would see an eye doctor to determine the cause.  I would be suspicious of a secondary cataract or posterior capsular opacification.  If this is the cause, it can be removed with a laser in clinic.  Other issues can also cause this problem so be sure to get this evaluated.

Question 8

hey .. i had surgery for my eyes to put lens thats icl ..its before 1week from today but my problem is that the halos  around lights is there solution?

Accepted Answer

Corneal edema: Usually improves with time. If your prescription needs fine tuning, lasik may be an option as a touch up.

Question 9

i am 2 years post lasik and i'm still experiencing halos and starbursts. will prescription glasses fix that? i don't want an enhancement surgery.

Accepted Answer

Surface disease: Glasses may help any residual prescription. There may be surface disease that can be treated icluding borderline dry eye and/or inflammation that may be magnifying the signs and symptoms.. In addition there may be glare issues that could be causing these problems.

Question 10

i had two catarac surgeries and one detached retina now i see halos around my eyes?

Accepted Answer

Seek out help: These events are unusual.  You should call your eye surgeon for more information and treatment options.  Good luck.
