I am very concerned with all of the accounts of people that have halos. It
seems like it is the norm and not the exception to have them after ICL surgery.

I looked at the simulated photos that nannyboo99 posted under the Photos section
and that really scared me. I can't imagine having to live with that type of
vision the rest of my life.

The main reason for me wanting to have ICLs in the first place was to get out of
glasses completely. If I have to wear glasses all of the time at night or in
dark rooms than I'd rather pass on the surgery.

I am supposed to go in for my consultation where I get all the eye tests and
measurements taken and pay for the surgery in full this coming Thursday. I'm
having serious second thoughts now due to all of the issues people seem to have
with halos.

My doctor said that my pupils are not overly large at 7 mm measured in the dark
and 6mm in the light. He does not consider me at particularly high risk for
halos whatever that means.

I'm a night owl so my vision at night and in very dark rooms is very important
to me. I need to be able to drive at night, watch television in my darkened
home theater, be able to go to movie theaters and spend a lot of time on my
computer using an LCD screen at night as well.

How bad are your halos on a scale of 1-10? Do you notice them in any of the
instances I listed above?

I need to make a decision in the next couple of days to go through with the
surgery or give contacts one more try since it has been over a decade since I
wore them last.

Thanks again for any and all feedback!
