In response to my recent blogs about modern LASIK reducing the incidence of glare and halos around lights at night, a patient from Oxnard recently asked me about starbursting around lights at night after LASIK. In my previous blogs about night vision after modern LASIK, I discussed the excellent study conducted by the FDA and the National Eye Institute called the Patient Reported Outcomes With LASIK Study (PROWL). This study also looked the the incidence of starbursting around lights at night after modern LASIK.  Starbursting refers to radiating lines of light coming off point sources of light at night, such as around headlights or street lights. The PROWL study showed that the incidence of starbursts around lights at night actually decreased after LASIK laser vision correction surgery compared to before surgery with glasses or contact lenses. The excellent results of night vision after LASIK seen in the PROWL Study are due to the huge advances that have been made over the years in LASIK technology, particularly with the introduction of customized wavefront LASIK.
