I'm thinking about having my intacs removed, as I'm not happy with my night vision. I have 7mm pupils, and I get a lot of halos and starbursts, especially in my right eye. My pre-op correction was -1.5 and -1.75. Do you know of anyone that has had lasik after intac removal? Are there any special concerns? How long do you wait after removal before doing lasik? If I remove them, will I be where I was pre-op as far as correction? And finally, since I have low correction, do you think night vision problems will be the case after lasik?

I do not know the details for what you propose, as intacs is still a new procedure and it is not very popular in South Florida.
You will to talk with your surgeon and ask these questions. As for glare and night time problems, we find that most patients with low levels of myopia do not have significant night time problems

Best of luck
