Lasik has been great for me.
I actually am way overdue for an eye exam. It's been ~6 years since my surgery and I think I may need a minor adjustment, but it could just be all this night work and bad sleep habits messing with things. ![]()

i had PRK done; my corneas were too unevenly shaped for Lasik. i don't regret it, despite the dryness i have now. it's mostly noticeable when i'm up late (i'm on call at the hospital, and it's dry as hell in there) or when i first wake up. i've actually learned when i wake up to keep my eyes closed, and then either grab some eye drops that i keep on the head of my bead or open my eyes slowly. i never would have thought that you could train yourself not to open your eyes when you wake up, but you can...weird stuff. if i do just pop my eyes open, my eyelids will stick to and literally tear my cornea (microtears - it's painful as hell for about 30 minutes afterwards).
so, other than searing eye pain, it was totally worth it. ![]() i did need a touch-up on both eyes afterwards; got the left done and still waiting to do the right. the left is about 20/15 (as opposed to about 20/400 before), and the right is somewhere like 20/35 or so. |

Halo, no halo for me... they told me that before I even got it done. The halo is from your pupil dialating beyond the scar tissue. My pupils don't dialate that far, so it was never an issue. |

Lasik is awesome! had it done in Jan with no problems what-so-ever. The dry eye thing was only for a few weeks after as they healed. I had none of that at all after abut 1-2 months. It was money well spent in my opinion...! no issues with night vision either.
PRK I have heard nothing but horror stories about the length of time to heal. |

I did it 4 years ago and LOVE IT! My really bad eye has regressed a bit, but not a whole lot, I may get a touch up, but I love being able to see.
