This paper presents the results of the visual comfort analysis in an operation room. The observations came from a survey which has been done in several Belgium hospitals. Visual comfort is usually seen as an abstract and subjective notion but in reality, it can be measured and responses to European norms. From a very simple system composed of bulbs more than a century ago to the current technologies using halogen and LED, operation lightings have kept evolving and improving themselves. Halogens and LED have two different ways of functioning but they have same issues. Among which: shadows creation, light intensity, light penetration in deep wound and the repositioning frequency. These problems need to be solved in order to facilitate the medical staff work and to ensure patient good treatment. A great research can be investigated in establish a higher interaction between the person and the lighting system, this one could be self-adapted according to surrounding lighting and it could also be self-adjusted by tracing surgeon hands.
