You guys are really cheering me up :-( I'm scheduled for laser treatment,
both eyes, early next month because of diabetic retinopathy.

Subject: [OM] Re: OT now... eye surgery
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.
