View allI 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.

my cornea size is 485 in one eye and 490 in the other with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50 would epi lasik surgery work for me
Epi-LASIK surgery might be an option for you, but it depends on a comprehensive eye exam, including corneal topography and pachymetry, to assess your suitability. While a corneal thickness of 485 µm is at the lower end of the acceptable range for LASIK, it's not necessarily a contraindication, especially if other factors like corneal shape are favorable. However, with myopia of 6.25 and 6.50, the amount of tissue that would need to be removed during the procedure will be a significant factor in determining if Epi-LASIK is a safe option.
