It is normal for your vision to fluctuate for several days to weeks or even months following surgery. Custom Lasik is an option for patients with a significant amount of High Order Abberations and is a way to IMPROVE night vision not completely eliminate halos and glare. It is likely that you will have issues with night vision in the first 6 months following your procedure regardless of whether you had custom or standard….this should get better over time. There is no guarantee that you will end up 20/20 once your vision stabilizes. It is possible but you could also end up 20/25 or 20/40…who knows? Not even the Dr knows…Otherwise, what you are experiencing is pretty normal. Good Luck!

I had Lasik a year ago and am very satisfied. It takes about 3 months for the healing process. The halos around the lights will go away. Everyone has some astigmatism. That’s why they made that "map", so they could correct any astigmatism you might have had. I wouldn’t worry at all. I was -2.5 and -4.25 before, now, 20/20. Everything is going to be ok.

I'm getting CustomVue Lasik the 17th. But from what I've researched is that most people get their complete sight within 3-12 months, especially if you have a higher prescription. This was the same for halos at night too. Customvue doesn't guarantee that halos will disappear, but at least it should be better than what it was. Your eyes will be fine, I wouldn't worry. Just talk to your doc and tell him/her your concerns and they will figure if its necessary to make an enhancement, since its quite common for people to need an enhancement with higher prescriptions. Good luck I hope it works out for you!
