I had LASIK four days ago. I am seeing major starbursts around lights at night and I can barely drive after dark. What are the chances that this will go away? Somebody please answer me, I'm panicking a bit.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I did have the CustomVue procedure, in hopes of preventing this starburst problem.

4 days is way too early to panic.

My pupils are 7mm at their largest. (The doctor says this that's "borderline".) My refractive error was -4.00 in the right eye and -4.50 in the left. Now the right eye (my dominant eye) is still undercorrected by about -1.00. Could that be contributing to the problem?
