"Pupil Size and Visx S4 Laser"

hi,
My Pupil size is 7.0mm. I am myopia (close up vision is great, far vision blurry). I am 20/60 and the prescription is -1 in each eye. The laser center uses Visx S4 Laser. My cornea was 497 microns thick.
I expressed my concerns with halos and starbursts at night and he said the combination of my:
1) pupil size
2) prescription (a mild prescription he said)
3) the use of a Visx S4 Laser
should not cause any major issues.
Any other opinions?

With a 1 diopter correction, the risk of night time vision problems is low if you use the VISX custom Cornea treatment.
I hope this helps

with such a low pescription, there is no need to get lasik as you do NOT need glasses except for driving. It is not worth the risks of lasik for someone with very mild myopia. I dont even know if most clinics will correct for those below -2 diopters
