Abstract
The aim of this review is to present the most recent knowledge, based on available references, about the problem of negative dysphotopsias, which occur after cataract surgeries. It seems however, despite being quite frequent when taking into account the number of cataract excisions, it lacks common knowledge. Up to this day, the principle of the symptom has a lot of unknowns. Surgical and non-surgical solutions used in cases of unacceptable levels of patient symptoms will be discussed.
