What's the best LASIK procedure to correct night vision?

Doctor's Answer

Hi Moi

This is a great question. As a military personnel, you should definitely consult your commanding officer and service Ophthalmologist about your vocation suitability to have a refractive surgical procedure performed. There are several military vocations that you would be disqualified from after having refractive surgery.

In general, if you wanted to consider a surgical procedure to improve your night vision with the least likely to induce higher order aberrations or impair your performance at night, then the short answer would be that you should consider the implantable collamer lens first.

If you are not suitable for an ICL, then the laser procedures to consider in order would be SMILE, then femto-assisted Lasik.

For the most precise and tailored answer for you, I would suggest that you undergo a comprehensive evaluation at your refractive centre of choice so that all your options appropriate for your eye can be discussed, and all your concerns can be adequately addressed. Best of luck!
