What are Halos on Lights?

Halos on lights refer to a visual phenomenon where a ring of light appears around a light source. This can make it difficult to see clearly, especially in low light conditions. Halos on lights can occur in one or both eyes and can affect people of all ages.

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.
