This would be more noticeable in low-light situations as your pupil will be larger. Ask to have a wave-scan done at the center where you had your pre-operative evaluation. As for the dryness, it took me several months to recover to a "normal" level...meaning I had dry eye to begin with. Continue to use lubricants at least four times a day...if you need more than this, check with your doctor for additional treatment.

And the halos, and irritation did finally subside. I didn't have that much irritation but the halos--and the halos caused blurriness. I never thought it would go away, but it did.. It took me about 9 mo's to get rid of it...and now my eyes feel perfect. I am only 20/30 and the doc says he can't do anything more for me b/c my cornea is too small. But, I still think it was worth it, I had 20/400 before--I couldn't even see the large "E", it is a bit of a disappointment I couldn't get closer to 20/20.. I went through the same exact thing.
