Why am i starting to see starbursts and glare 2 years after laser eye surgery?
Anonymous asked:
I had laser eye surgery approx 2 years ago with perfect results and my vision has been great until a few months ago i started seeing starbursts/halos and glare around lights and bright things like road signs. Worse at night but noticeable during the day also. Could this be due to my surgery still?? Im a 20 year old male with good health.

I doubt this is being caused by the surgery. If it were, as you said, you would have expected it to occur immediately after surgery. More likely is the possibility that you are having a regression in your correction. This means that your eyes have started to return somewhat toward your original prescription. Having a relatively small amount of prescription could cause these symptoms and would indeed be more noticeable at night when your pupils are dilated mored. You need to go back in to your doc and let him look.
