My friend had SMILE surgery, but he mentioned slight halos at night for the first few weeks. Is this common, and how long does it usually take for night vision to improve completely?

Mild halos or glare are relatively common in the first few weeks after SMILE and usually improve as the eyes heal. Most patients notice significant improvement within a month. Advanced laser precision and cornea mapping help minimize these effects, making long-term night vision clear. With proper follow-up care, rare lingering issues are typically manageable with simple measures like eye drops or adjustment of lighting at night.
