Vision issues post Contoura Vision Lasik
Hi,
I am a 31 year old male. I had my Contoura Vision Lasik surgery 1 month ago.
Even after 1 month, I am putting tear drops 5-6 times a day. Still I can see light scatters and a ring gets formed (perhaps we call them halos) when I see towards a light.
Also, facing issues while driving the car at night.
My operating doctor told me that these are permanent as they dilute pupils during the procedure and these light scattering issues will not subside.
Please suggest how much time this eye dryness persists and are these vision issues permanent?
I see very clearly in the day time though.
Regards.

Dryness will subside within 2-3 months completely.
Take lots of fluids like 3-5 lts of water per day it helps to reduce dryness fastly.
But vision issues are permanent because of light disperse between non surgical and surgical areas of cornea. There is nothing can be done. You can anti glare glasses while driving it helps to reduce reflections.
