l had a lasek surgery about 3 years agoand my vision is not very good in low light and at night otherwise is good. is there any vitamins or something that could possibly improve my night vision?

Is it the glare that bothers you at night? If so you can try getting a pair of glasses with no prescription that has a crizal alize coating. It is a glare proof coating made for the night and low light :)

Umm. l do not know for sure. Call your local eye doc. You might not even have to go in if its something common.

No, it is not a vitamins or eye drops problem, l am afraid.

A careful refraction might show a small residual Rx worth having at night, when ur pupils r larger.
Any glasses should have an anti-reflective coating, but such a coating on zero-power glass will be of no benefit.

Sometimes a light yellow tint designed to cut-out blue wavelengths (which r more easily scattered) can be of benefit but, depending where u live, there may be restrictions on wearing tinted glasses for driving at night.

Unfortunately, no. Being deficient in some vitamins can reduce night vision, but it is almost impossible if u live in a modern country with stable access to varied foods. That said, taking a daily multi-vitamin will not hurt u & may help, so do that.

As someone said, u may need ur prescription re-checked. See an eye doctor (whatever kind u normally visit) about that & consult them about any applicable laws towards eyewear at night.. especially yellow tinted glasses.

Yellow glasses can improve contrast & allow u to see better with less glare in low-light conditions, like driving. If u no longer need corrective glasses, NoIR is 65% yellow, in a 'fashion' or 'wrap around' frame will do u out 30$ & is returnable. You can only order through the phone at 800-521-9746, but u can browse their selections at noir-medical.com.

Yellow glasses r not a 'fix', though- there really is not one. But while you're wearing them, they can significantly improve conditions- so I'd definately suggest giving them a try.

Glare is a large complaint among Lasek patients, happening when the pupil gets larger than the area of the cornea fixed during surgery; hence, noticed more in the dark when our pupils are larger. There are no vitamins to improve this unfortunately, the only thing to suggest would be anti-reflective coatings on a pair of glasses. Surgeons should always be warning patients of this risk BEFORE surgery.

Several years ago l took pycnogenol to help prevent potential periphery artery problems of diabetes. A couple of weeks later l realized that my night vision had improved greatly in clarity. l now take grape seed extract, which has the same properties as pycnogenol only cheaper. l have told people of my experiences & they have tried grape seed extract with similar results. l do not know if this would help ur eyes after having lasek surgery, but it could help the strengthen capillaries.
