As you have read, I had LASIK 3 months ago and I was thrilled with the procedure. Now some time has passed and I've had a chance to ponder and reflect on the the decision and the procedure and so my thoughts are as follows.

It is still one of the best things I have ever done. I don't regret it for a moment and I would still recommend it... BUT... here's the thing. I still get light halos at night, and this is OK. I can live with that. The other things that have required some adjustment are that my eyes get tired sooner, over the course of a day, than they did prior to the surgery. Additionally, my night vision is not perfect. I do tend to have some blurring at night. I am not sure if this is always the case, but I have noticed it. Again, nothing I can't live with, merely an annoyance that may or may not be related to the eyes being tired.

Also, while my vision is 20/18 in my right eye and 20/15 in my left, I feel like the overall sharpness in definition that I had with glasses is no longer present. However, there are a couple factors that may explain this. One, I had a slight astigmatism that my glasses corrected. I believe the surgery corrected this as well; however, I am throwing it out there. The other more plausible reason may be that I wore transition lenses for years with polarization. Without that, I have been exposed to more pure light into my eyes than I have in the past 9 years. I stopped consistently wearing contacts sometime in 1999-2000 as it became too much of a bother when they dried out plus I had some minor corneal damage from drastically changing temperatures (which has since healed).

Who knows, the doctor may decide I need to do a touchup or he may say that I'm ok as I am. Either way, I have no regrets. The freedom was well worth every penny and my vision is steadily improving even still to this day. I can see at farther distances than I could before, I am not constantly worried about dirty lenses and I can be active without much by way of prior planning. I never have to worry about my glasses breaking or losing a contact lens while playing sports and I can go swimming without securely fasening goggles or opting to swim blind.

So three months later... would I do it again? In a heartbeat.
