It has been a little over 10 years since I had LASEK, and I am still maintaining 1.0 vision.
Side effects 1. Dry eye syndrome My eyes have become unable to live without artificial tears.. When they are really extremely dry, it hurts like they are tearing apart, and I do not know if my eyeballs are taking self-protective measures, but tears stream down.
2. Nighttime glare/halos I cannot drive at night. First of all, the glare is severe, so the world does not look clear. Imagine car headlights, streetlights, sign lights, all of these lights spreading out and looking blurred.. It is so frustrating.
3. Decreased night vision Compared with before surgery, this also feels like I cannot see well in dark places.
If you are going to get LASEK, I hope you think carefully about the possibility of the side effects above before deciding.
