Sounds like astigmatism, which I also have. I don't know if this procedure, unlike LASIK, can correct astigmatism. I know you said you weren't interested, but for me personally, wearing contacts (not glasses) completely fixes my astigmatism and makes it much easier to drive at night.

LASIK can absolutely correct astigmatism.

Source: Had LASIK in 1999. Severe myopia and astigmatism, corrected to 20/10 and 20/15 (right and left eye).

My night vision was definitely worse after the surgery, but improved over a year or two. I still get blurry when my eyes are dry and tired, but otherwise remain glasses-free at 50+.

That's when I had my eyes done but not for astigmatism. Have you noticed your eyes getting drier lately? Mine started a couple of years ago and it's somewhat of an issue now having to keep drops around.

To my knowledge LASIK can correct astigmatism. A quick Google search confirms this pretty clearly. Do you have a source that claims otherwise?

[qskousen]

Sorry, I guess I was mistaken, and now my comment is past the edit window so I can't correct it.

I just wrongly assumed what people told me.

Oh, I wonder what about the contact lens makes it different. I should try then I suppose

[taneq]

Contacts for astigmatism have a tiny weight on one side which keeps them oriented (enough) that they can cancel out mild to moderate asphericity.

I'm surprised LASIK still can't correct for astigmatism though, I know that was the case when it first came out but in principle I can't see why it wouldn't work.
