This test will provide insight into the patient's true visual complaint and clues to its origins.

Edge designs have been radically modified to reduce the occurrence of dysphotopsia. While positive dysphotopsia has been reduced, negative dysphotopsia appears to remain a potential problem. This paper and that by Narváez et al. [18] give several case studies suggesting independence of negative dysphotopsia and IOL design.
