Does laser correction have any effect on night vision? I read something awhile ago about how it could lead to decreased night vision or night blindness
70% of Asians are nearsighted... so that still leaves 30% or 400,000,000 people to choose from!!!


Night vision used to be really affected with the old procedures due to corneal scarring (think of a crack on your windshield and what it does to oncoming headlights). Today, the scarring is significantly less, and only those people with really large pupils will have problems (or botched surgeries).

Nehkara - glad to hear things went so well... you went to the right place.
