How EDOF Lenses Are Different
EDOF lenses:
- Extend the depth of focus
- Do not aggressively split light
- Maintain better contrast sensitivity

Dr. Nikhil Nasta explains that because light is handled differently, visual disturbances are generally milder.
Do EDOF Lenses Cause Halos?
Possible, but typically:
- Mild
- Temporary
- Less frequent than multifocal lenses
Most patients adapt within weeks to months.

At I-Sight Eye Care, lens choice always considers driving habits.

Do Halos Improve Over Time?
Yes. Neuroadaptation allows the brain to:

Most patients report improvement within a few months.
