I had laser surgery done 4 years ago and still have starbursts, halos, and glare. Is there any help for me?

There is a good chance that your vision may be correctable. Some of your visual problems may be due to some left over refractive error, or aberrations unique to your eye. The new custom wave front laser technology can often improve this. If your visual problems are due to issues inside your eye such as cataracts, laser surgery will not help. Only your eye doctor will be able to figure this out for you.
