My ophthalmologist said that I have large pupils about 7.5mm which causes halos and star bursts at night. So my question is can people with large pupils get PRK eye surgery?

As of 2 years ago, Lasik did not have the equipment to treat eyes with large pupils. Has this changed?

I knew an eye surgeon (cute but my friend’s bf) and he explained to me that Lasik machinery had only been made to operate on normal/average eyes. He said that once the surgery becomes much more popular, it will be profitable for a company to design a system that can also work on (my) eyes with large pupils.

Obviously he knew what he was talking about, as a Lasik surgeon, but I am wondering whether since then this new equipment has been manufactured. Does anyone know?
