Do EDOF Lenses Cause Halos or Glare at Night?

How EDOF Lenses Are Different

EDOF lenses:
  • Extend the depth of focus
  • Do not aggressively split light
  • Maintain better contrast sensitivity
EDOF IOL surgery: Edof Iol Surgery Mumbai 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.

Are EDOF Lenses Good for Night Driving?

Yes, especially compared to multifocal lenses. Benefits include:
  • Better contrast
  • Reduced starbursts
  • More natural visual experience
  • Greater comfort during highway driving
At I-Sight Eye Care, lens choice always considers driving habits.

Does Dry Eye Increase Glare?

Yes. Dry eye can:
  • Increase light scatter
  • Worsen night glare
  • Reduce visual clarity
Dry eye treatment: Dry Eye Treatment Mumbai Dr. Nikhil Nasta ensures ocular surface health is optimised before lens surgery.

Do Halos Improve Over Time?

Yes. Neuroadaptation allows the brain to:
  • Ignore unwanted light effects
  • Improve visual comfort
  • Adjust to new optical patterns
Most patients report improvement within a few months.

How Dr. Nikhil Nasta Chooses the Right Lens

Lens selection at I-Sight Eye Care includes:
  • Detailed lifestyle discussion
