Did it 4 years ago, blade used, custom lasik completed. Never had any halo, starbursts or any other night vision side affects. Like the other person said, get the best doctor you can. Ask the doctor is the pre-op evaluation: What complication have patients had in the last year and how did you handle them? My guy seemed offended at first, but then explained the there complication and how he handled them (he took a measured approach to fixing the problems rather than trying to fix them all at once). About halos, they reason people shouldn't get them with good doctors/surgeons: back in the day, they did the laser correction to the center section of the eye and then had a sharp transition between the corrected center and uncorrected outside. The good guys should work on corrected a larger section of your eye and created a smooth transition from the corrected to uncorrected part which doesn't cause halos. Halos can come from transitions from corrected to uncorrected that are too abrupt. Having the corrected vision has been absolutely wonderful.
