What Are Halos Around Lights at Night?

Halos around lights at night are a common visual phenomenon where a ring of light appears around a light source. This can make it difficult to see clearly and can be especially problematic when driving at night.

Common Causes of Halos Around Lights

Halos around lights can be caused by a number of different conditions, including cataracts, astigmatism, and corneal edema. Certain medications, such as dilating eye drops, can also cause halos around lights.

How Does It Affect Your Vision?

Halos around lights can make it difficult to see clearly, especially in low light conditions. This can lead to difficulty driving at night and performing other activities that require clear vision. In some cases, it can also be a sign of a more serious eye condition.

Treatment Options

The treatment for halos around lights depends on the underlying cause. If it is caused by a refractive error, such as astigmatism, glasses or contact lenses may be prescribed. If it is caused by cataracts, surgery may be recommended. In some cases, eye drops or other medications may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
