There are several laser centers that have popped up in the last few years based on marketing 20/20 vision guarantees or the alternative of lifetime enhancement guarantees. While both of these merit discussion, this post is about something different, it is about night vision. There is a big difference between seeing 20/20 on a high contrast eye chart and driving a truck at night down a dimly lit road. Today I was on Martino TV with a patient who told how in just two weeks since his LASIK procedure, not only does he see better than he did with glasses or contact lenses, but he sees more clearly at night than he can remember. When patients make a choice about laser vision correction, they are also making a choice about the technology used on their eyes and they only get one chance to make this important decision. For that reason, let us look at what makes for night vision which is so important to some people in both their occupation and in their personal lives.
