I'm not eligible for LASIK. People always say "why don't you get LASIK?"

Since then, my daytime vision is wonderful, but at nighttime it's crap. Even a year and half later, I see halos around any kind of light and still don't feel like my right eye was corrected enough. If I had to operate with only my right eye I'd be screwed.

Sorry you have to go through this...most people take seeing well for granted.
Yeah, it used to be halos, now every light is a sort of scyth shaped streak all the time - morning, noon, night...

You may have had some topographical changes from the LASIK though. My actual problem is that my corneas are very thin and very misshapen. They have been progressively thinning for the last 5-6 years (mine have taken an unusual pattern actually, my primary condition is most likely called pellucid marginal degeneration which is very rare but it's induced the same signalment as keratoconus and thus the treatment is the same). As a result I see multiple images and light "halos." I know sometimes refractive surgery can cause similar changes so it might be worth it to you to get a computerized topography done to make sure everything's kosher.
