Common Causes of Vision Halos Around Lights

There are several causes of vision halos around lights, including cataracts, glaucoma, corneal edema, and refractive errors. In some cases, vision halos around lights can be a side effect of certain medications.

Treatment Options for Vision Halos Around Lights

The treatment for vision halos around lights will depend on the underlying cause of the condition. For example, if the halos are caused by cataracts, surgery may be necessary to remove the cloudy lens. In cases where the halos are caused by refractive errors, corrective lenses or LASIK surgery may be recommended. Your eye doctor will work with you to determine the best treatment option for your specific needs.

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.
