Pat, I have one eye with an intraocular lens post cataract, no flaring with the telescope. This is a single vision implant, but people with bifocal/progressive implants suffer from constant annoying flare in low light levels and big pupils. Many disappointed patients have I seen who have believed the advertising hype from the IOL manufacturers.
Cheers

ah, now that is information I was wondering about Graeme! perhaps the flaring problem only manifests itself in multifocal IOL's
interesting...... I would like to find out about possible flaring in the single vision toric IOL's for a friend and fellow member here as I think he has 1.5 dioptres of astigmatism which would be nice to correct with an IOL
