What gets me the most about LASIK naysayers is that you also get the same or even much worse artifacts when using glasses or contacts. I had Femto-LASIK 2 years ago, after using glasses for 6 years and contacts for 6 more. I have very slight haloing around bright lights at night (Not as bad as described in the post though). The freedom of not having glasses or using contacts is FANTASTIC!

I have both myopia and astigmatism and I see no halos at night.

You are not supposed to see halos if your prescription is correct. You might get some artifacts if you look through your glasses at an angle, but that's it.

Halos are an artifact of LASIK, usually when the pupil is large enough that it expands past the area of the cornea which was "corrected".
