Abstract
Dysphotopsias are a result of a complex interaction of light with intraocular lens elements and postsurgical anatomy. These factors can be addressed with preoperative lens selection and intraoperative techniques. The best initial management is observation and conservative measures. For persistent negative dysphotopsia, improvement has been demonstrated with piggyback lens placement, ring device placement, lens repositioning, lens exchange, and lens modification. For positive dysphotopsia, benefit has been shown with lens exchange for round-edge, lower refractive index optics.
