Night vision blindness secondary to lasik

I had LASIK 18 years ago.  It left me unable to drive at night.  10 years ago I had PRK but still can't drive at night.  Was recently told my 5mm ablation zone makes it impossible to correct the starbursting and halos that prevent me from driving at night.  Anything on the horizon to help?

Have your cornea Eye Md refer you to an optometrist and try a rigid gas permeable contact lens to correct the irregular corneal astigmatism. Also try Alphagan-P at night to regulate pupil size.  be certain you are not developing an early cataract.
