2 weeks after LASIK - starbursts and haze around lights. Will this continue to heal and improve over time?

Asked By:PhillipL in Alameda, CA

I had LASIK 2 weeks today. I had starbursts before, due to my astigmatism, but now 2 weeks out and I’m still seeing them, but now there’s a glow around the lights ... so they’re kinda worse that before, when I would wear my contacts. Vision wise, I’m 20/20, but I was hoping that the starbursts and haze around lights would have gone away by now (like I was told after my day 1 post op exam). Will this continue to heal and improve over time, or is this going to be the best that it’s going to get ?
