    I appreciate the input and will be looking into that but before I'm hoping for advice on a solution to the problem instead of a fix to the problem.
    I've read about ghosting and it is usually tied to dryness. My tear breakup time being 6 seconds, I am wondering if this could be the problem (although docs say my eyes aren't dry yet it feels dry), and if something can be done about it or if lasik impaired my tear production forever.
    I'm curious to know if lipiflow is worth a shot?

    As I told you before, well fitted "lasik" RGPs may mask your symptoms.

  • Starbursts and ghosting, dry eye sensation without actual dryness.. HELP

    Hello

    Had lasik a year ago. 3 months post lasik, starbursts appeared and never left since.
    Starbursts appeared while I started to sense discomfort, although my docs tell me (lasik doc + second opinion doc) that my eyes aren't dry.
    But I do feel discomfort. My eyes hurt when I used the computer.
    Visual symptoms: starbursts shooting downwards mostly, present at night but also during the day with very bright lights. I also have ghosting.

    My doc made me do some tests and says there is no HOA, and cannot tell me why I have the visual symptoms.
    Doc also told me that my tears evaporate in 6 seconds which is a bit low. Could my problems be due to tear film issue?
    I have been on restasis for 4 months, not much improvement to my situation. Another weird thing is my eyes feel dry when I wake up, after a long night sleep..

    HELP! The visual symptoms are making my life sad.
Working...
