Had LASIK 16mths ago and suffer from GASH & ghosting. Gets worse in low light but there's lots of glare during DAY (from headlights). Ghosting under normal lighting is also very noticeable when objects are place in front of a darker background. Also I have a constant foreign body sensation in one of my eyes. Doctor sees no problem!How could that be? He used WAVELIGHT Eye-Q; Ablation/ Optical/ Transition Zones of 9.00/7.00/1.00. Pupils size 7.5/8mm. Doctors in DC area who can help? Thanks!
