LASIK MYTH #3 LASIK Makes your Night Vision Worse

FACT: LASIK does not affect night vision, and may even improve it. In two FDA-sponsored studies, PROWL-1 and PROWL-2, the presence of glare and halos was dramatically reduced with patients’ spectacle-free vision 3 months after LASIK as compared with their presence preoperatively with glasses, and this effect was enhanced over further time. Additionally, no patient in either group experienced significant ghosting after surgery as compared to beforehand. Another study showed that 88% of pilots who land on aircraft carriers at night found their night vision to be better after LASIK with no glasses than they did with their glasses before surgery.
