I had LASIK surgery on August 18 and my vision is now perfect, but I've been noticing starbursts around lights at night. What causes these starbursts after LASIK? Will they go away on their own?

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
