Photophobia from Cataract
Description
Photophobia from cataract—light sensitivity triggered by lens opacity—often shows up as glare, halos, starbursts, squinting, and eye strain, especially with sunlight, headlights, or screens; many people also notice blurry or cloudy vision, a yellow tint to colors, headaches, and poor night driving. The most effective solution is cataract surgery, which removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with a clear intraocular lens (IOL). In South Korea (Seoul, Gangnam), leading clinics offer phacoemulsification and laser cataract surgery (FLACS) with advanced IOL options—monofocal, multifocal/trifocal, toric, EDOF, and the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)—to reduce glare and improve day and night vision. Korea’s medical tourism programs feature world-class surgeons, English-speaking care teams, fast 3–5 day timelines, and transparent pricing that’s typically 30–50% lower than in the U.S. or Europe. Temporary light sensitivity after cataract surgery is common and usually fades as the eye heals. Search and compare “cataract surgery cost Korea,” “laser cataract surgery Seoul,” and “best cataract surgeon Korea” to plan your visit and restore clear, comfortable vision free from glare and photosensitivity.
