Is Wavefront Lasik the best laser eye surgery to date?

Q. I am scheduled for my Wavefront Lasik surgery next week. I was told this is the most recent, top of the line procedure available to date. I want to achieve better than perfect vision (20/10 or 20/15); and although it is not guaranteed, Wavefront Lasik has a higher percentage of success compared to other procedures to achieve, what I like to call, "high definition vision". Does anyone have any testimonials or web site links to verify if this is statistically true?

Answer
Wavefront lasik will in most cases give better results compared to surgery without using wavefront.

However as you say yourself results are not guaranteed.

Of course with all laser eye surgery there is of course no permanent cure and at some stage later in life spectacles will again need to be worn.

Please read up as much as you can before considering surgery.

Good Luck

I did a surgury 8 days back in dubai and they did one eye for reading and other eye for vision and i see halos?

And diminished night vision and no balance between two eyes, please help me what should i do?

Answer
At eight days post-op, halos can be expected. Once healing is complete, halos can be the result of the monovision correction (one eye for far and one eye for near) . The near eye vision gives a blur image for far that surrounds the clear image for far from the opposite eye. Also,they can be the result of an optical aberration such as spherical aberration that can happen after lasik.
If you did not wear monovision contact lenses successfully before your lasik surgery, it is possible that you are one of the 40% of the population who is not suited for monovision.
On the other hand, just about 100% of successful monovision patients have trouble seeing for night vision. This is remedied by a pair of night driving glasses that bring up the near eye to see far. Of course the eyes are by definition, not balanced, since one is for far and the other, near.
If you are miserable and cannot tolerate this, then your option would be to have the near eye redone for distance. Naturally this will mean using reading glasses any time that you want to see close in the future...
