[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i can't see well night-driving either. I did lasik 15 years ago and see large halos around lights. [/quote] I've had halos ever since my LASIK procedure 7 years ago and I am not comfortable driving at night (I avoid it if possible). I work in the ophthalmology field, which makes it more frustrating to me. People with larger pupils are at higher risk of halos, although the risk is reduced nowadays with the better technology that is available. Basically, let's say the central 6mm of your cornea was treated with the lasik laser, but your pupil dilates to 8mm in the dark...your pupil is allowing light to come through untreated areas of your cornea which results in aberrations...halos, starbursts, etc. Any good surgeon would measure your pupil size in the dark during your consult and should make every patient aware of the slight risk of halos after lasik.[/quote]
