My doctor told me that the cause of halos at night was sloppy work
around the edges of the surgical area. He said that when the eye is
"stopped-down" it isn't much of an issue, but when the eye is shooting
wide open anomalies around the periphery of the surgical area cause
flare. I'd told him I was a photographer and I was trusting him with my
eyes and he seemed really sensitive to that. So far I haven't had any
problems with halos at night. Seems like he must have done a pretty
clean job.
