I got LASIK four years ago. No haloing, and in general I'm really happy about it. I did have vicious dry eyes for about six months, which was much worse than it sounds, but it went away. Overall, I'm thrilled with the procedure, and as I previously had terrible vision, it was legitimately life-changing.
- jcfrei 11y agoHow poor was your vision before?
- tdees40 11y agoMy prescription was approximately -8 in both eyes. I was a pretty fringe-y candidate for the surgery and had to do the most expensive one (laser flap, wavefront) to get it done.
- nly 11y agoI had LASIK in 2010 and never experienced any halo'ing either. Same with the dry eyes though. Got better. I'm in the UK and had it done with Ultralase at a cost of about $6,500. That was the most expensive surgery option though (why risk being cheap when your health is on the line, even if the chance of a bad result is marginal?) I advise anyone considering it to go to more than one surgery for a consultation. I first went to one in London which didn't inspire confidence, treated me like I'd come in to buy a car, felt pressured and marketed toward. Ultralase treated me like a medical patient. So shop around wherever you are in the world.
