Glistenings and retinal straylight

摘要

In patients, retinal straylight produces complaints of hazy vision, increased glare hindrance, loss of contrast and color, halos around bright lights, and difficulties with against-the-light face recognition. Forward light scatter does not correlate to visual acuity and makes patients miserable despite having Snellen acuity of 6/6 to 6/9. Because of their negative impact on driving ability, straylight levels have been advocated for consideration in determining the need for ocular surgery.4"6
