18 yrs post op LASIK, is +5 worth it if it fixes HOAs?

Asked By:koneall in Casper, WY

I had Lasik 18 years ago. It left me with starbursts and halos. The optical zone was 4.5mm. The doctor now says any more surgery would make me +5 or more. I think that might be a decent tradeoff to be able to drive at night again. He won't do it and suggested I find someone else. Is it a bad idea?
