I've had a few lens corrections over the years, but starbursts seem to only get worse with time since that first prescription where they completely disappeared. Whenever I bring up the question of corrective surgery my ophthalmologist manages to somehow change the subject. I suspect that my astigmatism has gotten so bad that lenses can't completely correct it (thus worsening starbursts), making me a poor candidate for surgery in his opinion, notwithstanding all the marketing promises out there. Perhaps we're both in the same boat if you're also still seeing starbursts with your prescription.
