Would the examiner consider this a condition for a rejection? Could I still be granted an 1st class medical if its treatable?
I know that I should just wait for the examination but my nerves are wracked as my career plans/dreams are at stake.
Your replies are greatly appreciated.

Hi BRicardo, yes there are nighttime side-effects of LASIK may include seeing halos, starbursts, blurry vision, and glare around lights. Some of these effects can be caused by overcorrection, under correction, or residual astigmatism. These effects usually diminish as the eye heals in the first three to six months following treatment... This site can help you know more the solution of your side-effects of lasik
