had LASIK two years ago. dry eyes and starbursts quite a bit in the first 6 months, but the dryness is gone now and night time vision is good. I can live with very minor starbursts/halos at night that don't interfere with my vision vs having contacts or glasses. the procedure got me to 20/15 and I'm seeing more clarity than I ever did with glasses or contacts.

I was told about still requiring reading glasses when you hit a certain age because that's an entirely different condition and sometimes people confuse that with the procedure having failed them later.

I should add that I was an excellent candidate with plenty of corneal tissue and the procedure was using the latest equipment and techniques. The place I went to was reputable and turned a lot of people away because they were not good candidates. I wonder if any less reputable places are performing the procedure on higher risk people and this contributes to an increase in serious side effects?
