Starbursts/glare 3 years after Lasik. Is it permanent? What should I do?

December 3, 2023
Asked By:KoraJ in Chicago, Illinois

My night vision is horrible.The light beams off cars and street lights extend from the object itself into eternity and bounce off my eyeball causing a glare. I can't read well on bright phone screens or subtitles on TV. My day vision in natural light is perfect though. Before lasik,I was nearsighted with astigmatism. I had starbursts when I would wear glasses but contacts corrected it. Doctor said my eyes are healthy and rejected an enhancement. Used eye drops and contacts-did not do anything.
