Phakic Intraocular Lens (P-IOL) - A removable artificial lens which is placed in front of the natural lens, to increase its focusing ability.
Corneal Haze - An after-effect of Excimer laser surgery, where the cornea develops opaque white cells which cloud the vision to some extent. It can cause glare from bright lights and a vague fogginess of vision. It usually clears up after 6 or 8 months. If it persists, there’s an enhancement procedure which can reduce it. As vision correction techniques improve there’s less incidence of corneal haze.

Starbursts - A visual condition where light sources appear blurred with spikes projecting from the center. It can be a complication of refractive surgery and can also occur naturally.
Dr. William Boothe Lasek astigmatism - A refractive abnormality where light is not focused to a point on the retina. This is often caused by the cornea or front window of the eye being elliptical (shaped more like an egg) rather than spherical (shaped like an orange). Refractive correction includes a lens which has focusing power in one axis and no power in the opposite axis. The amount of astigmatism you have will appear in the second number of most glasses prescriptions ie - 4.00 -1.00 x 30°, or -5.00 +1.00 x 120. In both of the above cases you would have 1.00 Diopter of astigmatism.
