which lens best after Lasik surgery (prizm, polarized, iridium

[SiRacer420]

Any other cons to the surgery?

My eyes are a little dry but not bad enough for drops and sometimes at night I see little halos around bright lights but not bad enough to **** with me. Nothing else really. Was totally worth it.

I should mention that my eyes were already light sensitive before the lasik.

Thank you for all of this useful information! I was asking for a friend

It's been so long, can't remember which year exactly, but I had lasik back around 2001-2003 timeframe.

It was the best money I ever spent on anything.

Before surgery, couldn't see a person's facial features from 6 feet away, but I had no light sensitivity. After surgery, I noticed a little light sensitivity and the haloing at night, but both were minor and they quickly faded into the background to the point it was never an issue for me. I never paid much attention to sunglasses back then, so it was whatever blocked the light enough so I didn't have to squint. Today, the different Oakley lenses all work for me as they're designed and it doesn't seem that the lasik has any impact on my choice of lenses.

Just another data point. YMMV

@htrap2294 for an answer!!

I use contacts bro, can’t bring myself to get LASIK for fear of going blind or having small issues like @SiRacer420 stated.

I admit I was a little nervous about possibly going blind lol but the small side effects are barely noticeable. I couldn’t take contacts anymore. My ex wife had to put them in for me and I had been wearing them since I was 12.

If at one point, I can’t wear contacts anymore then I’ll probably opt for LASIK too. It would be a damn shame (and expensive) to wear only RX Oakleys.

Yeah no doubt. That **** is expensive! When my wife and I first started dating I offered to get her Lasik but she didn’t take me up on it.

For me, it was being able to see properly when active, especially water sports like surfing. I got tired of not being able to see the waves form.

I actually gave up swimming and surfing because of this - got tired of the salt water messing with my contacts.
