Yes, LASIK is safe at 22 for stable numbers—get corneal thickness and stability checked before deciding.

I had surgery about a month and a half ago, and my daytime vision is clear, but as soon as evening comes, everything gets really blurry. Even small text inside or outside looks hazy in artificial light, though it's sharp in sunlight or mornings. Is this normal? The blurriness in low light is uncomfortable and makes it hard to see details.

Yes, this is a common experience after surgery, particularly eye surgery like LASIK or cataract surgery. Blurry vision, especially in low light, can be a temporary side effect as your eyes and brain adjust to the new conditions. It's often related to healing processes, dry eyes, or how the eye processes light.

I've been diagnosed with a retina issue and my doctor recommended barrage laser surgery, but I'm really nervous about it they didn't make me feel confident about the procedure. Can you suggest a skilled and patient-friendly retina surgeon who specializes in barrage laser? I need to get this done soon but want to make sure I'm in good hands.

Barrage laser is safe and done to prevent retinal detachment; seek a retina specialist known for patient care—your doctor can refer a trusted one.
