hey guy, i just had lasik surgery for my eyes…now i can see much better…however, now there is another complications…and that’s is usually at night or in the dark …it that i see so much halo …so my vision is kinda cloudy now…it just happens in the dark…or when i’m in the movie theater…i see more like circle around lights at night….how will this go away? if i wear glasses with anti-reflective coding, will this go away…so i only have to wear glasses at night when i’m driving?
I had lasik about 7 years ago, and I noticed the halos also.
It took a month or two for my night vision to calm down. The halos diminished over time, but I hate to tell you this: they never went away. I can see just fine at night and in dark places, but the halos around lights are always there – much much smaller than at first. For me, it has to be a light in a really dark place, like a street light at night (not in movie theatres), and the circle is only about 1.5 to 2x the size of the light itself. I can drive at night just fine, no problems. I’ve actually gotten very used to it and don’t even realize that seeing the halos isn’t normal.
I don’t think anti-reflective glasses would help, because what you are seeing is not a “reflection” really, it’s just the way light is bouncing around INSIDE your eye. Yeah, so don’t waste your money… you’ve already spent enough on lasik!!
EDIT: Please remember that this is just my personal experience, and everyone reacts differently. Hopefully your halos will go away in time. But if they don’t, just know that you should still be able to function just fine!
I have heard of the exact same problems happening to other people which is delaying my getting of lasik. I would also like to know how to help this.
