No.: With modern wavefront treatments, haloes and glare are common in the early post procedure period and generally go away. Usually they are no worse than before lasik and may be some better.

No: No. Glare and haloes are usually about the same after surgery. Some will note improvement while a few may notice some increase. After surgery during healing process, some temporary increase in glare and haloes is normal.

Generally no: Halos and glare can be worse after LASIk if the patient has significant dry eyes or early lens changes. With modern wavefront treatments, haloes and glare are less common in the early post procedure period and generally go away. Usually they are no worse than before LASIK in many cases of previous astigmatism, symptoms are better.
