an icepick through the keyhole

Even I get minor halos around light sources, mostly at night. Then again, I got my first halo when I was given my first pair of eyeglasses at the age of eight and a half. I had seventeen years of halos and starbursts, mostly in low-light situations, so I got used to them. As far as I'm concerned, that's just part of the way I see. Other folks, whose prescriptions weren't bad enough to merit hard contact lenses or high-index glass in their spectacles, probably won't feel the same way.
