Went in for my flight physical yesterday and tested 20/20 after being worse than 20/200 for 25 years prior to LASIK. Even though I test at 20/20, I finally talked my eye doc into a perscription for a super weak pair of glasses just for night flying. My acuity has dropped slightly since I had the LASIK...which is normal....but I can see sooooooo much better than before. With the glasses on, I'm almost 20/10, which is nice for flying at night.
I had the halo effect for the first few weeks at night....didn't cause any problems but I noticed it. No problems at all, now.
I highly recommend the procedure. My doc is in Spokane, WA and is also a private pilot...super nice guy.
In retrospect...it's funny how I can hardly remember the days I had to wear corrective lenses. It was most of my life and yet now it seems like I've had good vision for ever....funny how the mind can block out bad experiences...hehe.
