The halo effect took a lot longer to go away for me then a few months, but it eventually did go away. Same with the dry eyes, it took maybe a year for me to get over the dry eyes. I am going on 10 years now and I have no lasting side effects, and I would no doubt do it again.

That's great to hear, so there still is a chance it might go away. I had more trouble with eye dryness with contacts actually and never really noticed such a problem after the surgery.

That's interesting. I've had problems with dry eyes with contacts, and took that as a reason not to do eye surgery for fear of making the problem permanently present even when not wearing contacts because dry eyes is one of the side effects. So perhaps I should reevaluate.
