I had LASIK done 3 years ago this December. I was legally blind before the surgery. I couldn't see much of anything other than a blur - lots of big blur. I even had to feel my way through the house when I wasn't wearing my contacts. I had to have the surgery because I was beginning to have problems wearing contacts and couldn't wear glasses. The man that did my surgery said that I was his worst-sighted patient that he had ever had. I don't have to use contacts or glasses anymore and I am really enjoying it.
But I am now beginning to worry about possible long-term side effects that may occur. I know that they don't know if there are any or not because the procedure is still new. But has anyone else had any side effects? I now have night vision problems. There are halos around lights and I see ghostly images. My eyes stay pretty dry and are sensitive to light. Although, if I had to go back and do it all over again I would do it in a heartbeat. Definitely. I love being able to see everything. I just can't get rid of these fears about what the future holds for my eyes. I've been through so much with my eyes already.
Does anyone else have any experiences with it? Anything anyone could tell me will be appreciated. Thanks.
