Expensive solution, but … LASIK fixed it for me. Edit: I had astigmatism in one eye as well.

- vuln 4y agoYep, no thanks. Not even for free when the military offered it to me as a carrot to reenlist. You only have one set of eyes. There are no guaranteed results. I have blue eyes and astigmatisms which I was told by multiple doctors could affect the results. I've met more than a couple people that have had chronic dry eye and other issues after their LASIK. I'm totally fine with my glasses and rare use of contacts. I'm not gambling my only set of eyes with perhaps half my life left on this planet.
- adrenvi 4y agoLASIK is known for causing night vision difficulties e.g. bright lights causing starburst patterns or halos. This can happen when the pupil widens to the point where light is entering the eye from both the corrected and uncorrected areas of the cornea. I think the issue decreases over time as the eye heals but in some cases it can remain as a long-term side effect. https://lasikcomplications.com/starbursting.htm https://lasikcomplications.com/starbursting.htm
- SilasX 4y agoRight, for a month or so I saw halos around lights at but then they went away. But definitely a risk to be aware of. I had a friend who was considering LASIK by doing one eye at a time to reduce the possible downside.
