I'd call glowing outlines around objects in the dark "glare" and not "halos". From the reading I did before getting LASIK back in April, "halos" can occur in people with very large pupils. So in the dark, your pupils will grow larger than where the flap is cut. So you'd see this phantom circle in the dark all the time.

The glare is annoying, but I purchased a new set of glasses (I know, right?) with no correction and anti-reflective lenses. These help quite a bit when driving at night or working on the computer when my eyes are tired.

Going into my surgery, I told the doc I didn't care if I needed reading glasses (we all probably will), glasses to drive or to work at the computer. Having gone from between a -5 and -6 to 20/15 vision, I am very very happy with the results.
