What is it about?
Pseudophakic photic phenomena are characterized by nonuseful patterns of light projected onto the retina in positive forms that produce images as glares and/or halos. In this study, we assessed factors associated with this photic phenomena in patients with PanOptix IOL implantation.

Why is it important?
Of all the multiple factors we analized, on multivariate regression analyses the only predictor of photic phenomena was baseline best corrected visual acuity, suggesting that patients that have a better visual acuity before surgery are more demanding regarding visual outcomes after surgery, unlike those who have more visual impairment and therefore perceive any small improvement as important.
Perspectives
Analyzing all these factors was a challenging task. This study shed some light on predictive factors of dissatisfaction for photic phenomena, and this allows surgeons for a better management of patients’ expectations and increased satisfaction with the procedure.
