I went for a pre-check with Optilase for surgery. I am good for both LASEK and LASIK. My only concern is that I've been told my pupils are large ( 8.8 mm in one eye and 8.4 mm in the other).

I've read online about all the starburst, halo'ing, etc issues that come with having large pupils. Is this still an issue with current laser tech? Optilase told me if pupils are over 9 mm then there could be an issue, so I am slightly under this spec.

Also, would anyone recommend a laser eye clinic that specialises in laser eye surgery for people with large pupils?

I'd appreciate any feedback anyone has in regards to this - thanks!
