The objective when implanting an ARTISAN^®  or ARTIFLEX^® lens is to make you totally independent of your glasses. But as with all kinds of refractive surgery this will not always be the case. In the end the required diopter will be between 0 and 1. There can be several reasons for this; the diopter can be affected for instance when suturing the incision. With a diopter between 0 and 1 you will not be limited in daily life; you won’t be depended on your glasses or contact lenses anymore. A slight correction might be needed if you demand a high level of visual acuity in your job or while driving.

Cases of glare or halo’s in the dark.

After an  ARTISAN^®  or ARTIFLEX^®  implantation you might be bothered by glare or halos at night. People who wear glasses or contact lenses are familiar with this phenomena. It has to do with rays or light that reflect on the rim of the lens. Because the pupil is larger in the dark, these reflections sometimes enter the eye. The majority of the people adapt to this after a wile and don't consider it to be a problem.
