How bad are the halos you can get from Lasik?

Question

I have large pupils so I think if I got lasik there is a chance I would get the halos. Also I have astigmatism of something like 2.75ish. I wear progressives, which cause me to see double vision at night because of the distortion in the peripheral vision so would it really be that much worse if I got lasik and saw halos at night? Are the halos that you get unbearable? I know that for a lot of people they go away with time but my eyes are terrible, contact lens don't work for me because of my high astigmatism, etc. so I have a feeling I would be one of the unlucky ones to be stuck with halos permanently...

Answer 1

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

First, whoever told you that contacts wont work with severe astigmatism is WRONG. Check out http://www.specialty-lenses.com/astigmat...

Second, it geniunely depends on a person, but you're right- large pupils set you up for bad results. Aside from that, there are tons of risks to lasik surgery, the most dramatic (I believe) being severe dry eye- I always like to include http://www.dryeyezone.com/talk/showthrea... as an example of what, exactly, can go wrong with lasik. Hundreds of people on that forum are the horror stories your surgeon wont mention.

Answer 3

yes, but it is not as bad after 3months. In fact there is no more halos after that
