Q. What are the side effects after presbyopia cataract surgery?

It would be ideal if there were no side effects after surgery, but some side effects may occur.

The most commonly known is the phenomenon of light scattering at night.

It is literally a phenomenon in which streetlights or oncoming car lights appear to be blurred.

In addition, there may be side effects such as seeing a circular halo around the light or the light appearing to spread out like a star.

There are rare cases where people complain that they have difficulty adapting to the lenses.

However, these side effects do not appear in all patients, and even if they do appear, they gradually decrease over time.

In most cases, it will eventually disappear, and once you get used to it to some extent, you don't need to worry too much.

However, since other side effects may occur depending on the patient's condition, please be sure to consult with a medical professional before surgery.
