I do notice starbursts/Halo's around lights at night with my IOL lenses. You get to used to it.


Multifocal Intraocular Lenses for Cataract Surgery

Multifocal IOLs
These lenses are designed to allow for distance, intermediate and near focusing and do not depend on the ciliary body muscle.

Most of these lenses have some type of concentric rings etched into the surface that allows images at all distances to be focused on the retina. Because of this, it takes a little longer for people to adapt to them.

The focusing power provided by these lenses is different than normal focusing that most people had during their younger adult life. Therefore, the brain must adapt to this new way of focusing. However, they work surprisingly well.
