However, little objective data have been published on changes over time, how these relate to subjective reports, and whether those who will report greater glare symptoms can be predicted prior to IOL implantation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 32 patients (aged 72.4 \u00b1 8.0 years) with healthy eyes were implanted bilaterally with hydrophilic 600s (Rayner, Worthing, UK) or hydrophobic Acrysof (Alcon, Texas, USA) acrylic IOLs (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 16 each, randomly assigned). Each patient reported their dysphotopsia symptoms subjectively using the validated forced choice photographic questionnaire for photic phenomena, and halo size resulting from a bright light in a dark environment was quantified objectively in eight orientations using the Aston Halometer. Assessment was performed binocularly pre-operatively and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after IOL implantation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was carried out at the National Health Service Ophthalmology Department, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, UK.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Visual acuity (average 0.37 \u00b1 0.26 logMAR) did not correlate with subjective glare (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.184, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.494) or objective glare (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.294, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.270) pre-surgery. Objective halo size (<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic> = 112.781, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) decreased with cataract removal and IOL implantation and continued to decreased over the month after surgery. Subjective dysphotopsia complaints (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) were also greater pre-surgery, but did not change thereafter (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.228). In neither case was there a difference with IOL material (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05). It was not possible to predict post-surgery dysphotopsia from symptoms or a ratio of symptoms to halo size pre-surgery (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Subjective dysphotopsia and objective halos caused by cataracts are greatly reduced by implantation of IOL after cataract removal causing few perceivable symptoms. However, objective measures are able to quantify a further reduction in light scatter over the first month post-IOL implantation, suggesting that any subjective effects over this period are due to the healing process and not due to neuroadaptation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fopht.2024.1310468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]],"date-time":"2024-04-25T05:10:14Z","timestamp":1714021814000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Glare prediction and mechanism of adaptation following implantation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Gurpreet K.","family":"Bhogal-Bhamra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maana","family":"Aujla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sai","family":"Kolli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy L.","family":"Sheppard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James S.","family":"Wolffsohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(00)00427-2","article-title":"Dysphotopsia in phakic and pseudophakic patients: incidence and relation to intraocular lens type","volume":"26","author":"Tester","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Cataract Refractive Surg"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2010.01.001","article-title":"Negative dysphotopsia following cataract surgery","volume":"36","author":"Mamalis","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Cataract Refract Surg"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ICU.0000000000000112","article-title":"Subjective complaints after cataract surgery: common causes and management strategies","volume":"26","author":"Hood","year":"2015","journal-title":"Curr Opin Ophthalmol"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3129\/i09-266","article-title":"Satisfaction and dysphotopsia in the pseudophakic patient","volume":"45","author":"Welch","year":"2010","journal-title":"Can J Ophthalmology-Journal Canadien D Ophtalmologie"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrs.2012.11.023","article-title":"Correlation of visual quality with satisfaction and function in a normal cohort of pseudophakic patients","volume":"39","author":"Kinard","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Cataract Refractive Surg"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(00)00611-8","article-title":"Positive and negative dysphotopsia in patients with acrylic intraocular lenses","volume":"26","author":"Davison","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Cataract Refractive Surg"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0886-3350(00)00856-7","article-title":"Sharp-edged intraocular lens design as a cause of permanent glare","volume":"27","author":"Ellis","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Cataract Refractive Surg"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.120.10.1294","article-title":"The effect of texturing the intraocular lens edge on postoperative glare symptoms -
