I had lasik about 7 years ago, and I noticed the halos also.
It took a month or two for my night vision to calm down. The halos diminished over time, but I hate to tell you this: they never went away. I can see just fine at night and in dark places, but the halos around lights are always there - much much smaller than at first. For me, it has to be a light in a really dark place, like a street light at night (not in movie theatres), and the circle is only about 1.5 to 2x the size of the light itself. I can drive at night just fine, no problems. I've actually gotten very used to it and don't even realize that seeing the halos isn't normal.
I don't think anti-reflective glasses would help, because what you are seeing is not a "reflection" really, it's just the way light is bouncing around INSIDE your eye. Yeah, so don't waste your money... You've already spent enough on lasik!!
EDIT: Please remember that this is just my personal experience, and everyone reacts differently. Hopefully your halos will go away in time. But if they don't, just know that you should still be able to function just fine!

Anyone have issues with their LASIK surgery?
I had mine done in 2000 and have not had any problems other than slight halos at night (it was far worse with glasses & contacts) and slightly blurry vision when its overcast.
So anyone have any issues with their LASIK or are you 100% happy with it?????

I am 100% happy with it, i have to use artificial tears every once in a while but other that that, i love it

How long can I expect my eye sight to be blurry after lasik eye correction?
I had the procedure done a week ago and am told that this is normal, however I am wondering when I should start to worry an error was made. I used to see better with my glasses and have lost my near sight ability; I need to close my eyes in the car or I get a headache; my husband can still see better than me without his glasses. I have already heard all the rhetoric about halos and dry eyes. Please only answer if you have had the procedure and the same problem.

If you are staying on top of your vitamins and drops then most likely only a month.

Lasik Surgery Gone Wrong??
I had lasik eye surgery about a year ago and my eyes are not better, in fact they may be the same or worse. They are blurry, my night vision is horrible, i see halos and glares and am very sensitive to bright light. i feel like it's difficult for my eyes to focus as well. i have severe anxiety and wonder if this is the problem or if something went wrong with my surgery. has anyone had this prob that can offer advice? do eyedrops or glasses or even contacts help? I will try anything at this poiny. I appreciate any help from anyone. thx

What did they say at the clinic? Did you go back for all of your follow-up appointments?
I had Zyoptix Lasik surgery a year ago and only got a partial correction. Once my eyes healed enough they discussed my options with my and I had them retreated. The second treatment was a complete success.
You can go back to glasses, but they won't do anything for the haloes (unfortunately those never did go away with the second treatment - though I'm only 4 months after the second treatment and they said there's still a chance they will continue to fade) but you can still correct your vision like you used to. Drops will only help if you have dryness.
My advice is to go back and talk to the doctor at the clinic. It's a shame that you waited so long!

About post LASIK surgery...?
Hello All,
I took lasik surgery 15 days back, now i got almost 95% of my vision back...the problem i am facing now is when ever i see a light source i find glare or haloes around the light source...am very much worried about it.... So i want to know weather it will be permanent for rest of my life or it is temporary... Please please help me out....
admin answers:
If the area of your cornea that was changed is smaller than your pupil, you will get halos and they will not go away. You can also get halos from corneal haze that will go away soon. I experiences a little bit of a halo from being under corrected I found it helps when I wear glasses when I drive at night.
