VI. GLARE
Glare is light that enters your eye but doesn't

help you see better

Glare can be:

Uncomfortable. When you're trying to see in the

presence of a too-bright light, you may squint and

try to look away from the light. Your eyes may
become teary.
Disabling. Glare can sometimes impair your
vision. Light is scattered within the eye and
reduces the contrast of images. The loss of
contrast is often worse with disabling glare in dim
lighting as opposed to bright environments.

Common eye problems that can cause halos and

glare is cataract
