It changed my relationship with the world. Dependency is the name of the game – it all depends how dependent you are on glasses.
If you lost your glasses, would you be able to walk around? I was -6.5 and 3.5 astigmatism and I was stuck if I lost my glasses. Had to carry contact lens boxes and solution with me. Post-LASIK I'm something like +0.5.
I get halos if I look directly at overhead street lights at night, that's about it. It's underwhelming as a side-effect. I don't stare at street lights at night very often!
- SoftTalker 2y agoYeah ideally it sounds nice. But I've never lost my glasses. I don't carry contact lens supplies with me, worst case with my RGP contacts I can clean them with hand soap or dish detergent and tap water in a pinch. How do you do with oncoming headlights while driving at night?
- vl 2y agoSo I did ICL (and I recommend it over LASIK), ICL gives thin distinct halos at night around bright lights. I saw them for 2 first weeks only, then I stopped seeing them - brain filtered them out. Now I only see halos in very unusual lighting situations, or if I specifically look for them for fun (and it takes some effort).
- gwbas1c 2y agoI'm naturally 20/20 and I get halos from bright lights at night too; maybe not like post-lasik, but it's something to do with age. (I'm close to the age where my mom and sister had to start wearing glasses.)
