I think Mary is correct, people who have had halo problems are more apt to post
here than others who have no problems.

I am one who does not have any halo problems like others.
I do see a bit of fuzziness around such things as a led clock in a totally
darkened room,I like it dark when I sleep!

I have had no problems driving, I do have a bit of glare when looking at
streetlight.
it is not a problem and no worse than I had when I wore contacts and glasses.

My eyes are blue and have always been light sensitive.
I am the guy who is wearing sunglasses on a cloudy day.

It seems that almost any light causes my pupils to constrict enough to no be a
problem for me.

I had my surgeries in January and consider it the best thing I have ever done.

Was I nervous going in ? YOU BET !

If you aren't comfortable ask your doctor more questions before you proceed, get
the answers to your questions.

Good idea to make a list of your questions at home before you go in, that way
you won't forget.
