Before I did the LASIK, my doctor told me I will remain -0.5 as he thought it's my best option according to my pupil and my level of myopia -11. Post LASIK I found that when I am outdoor my vision is quite good, but indoor, even the lights turned on, my vision is a little blurry and I can't see people clearly, It was quite annoying. I have asked my doctor whether a should get a pair of glasses, but he though I should wait as I am now 3months post LASIK. And I was sick 1month post LASIK. My pupil size is 6.5.

what is your uncorrected vision now in each eye? How much of a difference does the last minus half do when you went in for testing? Also do you have any residual astigmistim? Whats your dilated pupil size? I am not a doctor but this info can help the doctors here.

you are doing great and you should get the glasses for your residual error any time and that slhould help your night vision. If it doesn't, then you could also try Alphagan drops at night to make your pupils slightly smaller.

I notice that the most problem for me is indoor vision, even the light turns on and my pupil size is small, I can still feel my right eye is a bit blurry. Is that because of residual error or halo?
