The term dysphotopsia is used to describe a variety of visual symptoms that result from light reflecting off the intraocular lens (IOL) onto the retina. Dysphotopsias are generally divided into two categories: positive and negative. Positive visual changes involve symptoms of bright artifacts, while negative dysphotopsias are perceived as shadows or dark areas in the visual field. Patients may report glare, starbursts, halos or shadows when describing their visual symptoms.
We cannot advise you on surgery. This is something you need to discuss with an eye physician. If you don't feel comfortable with your current doctor and/or way the surgery was handled, you have the option to find another specialist. I can certainly understand your concerns on this matter.
