That's all fine and good, but the study made a (more or less) blanket
statement about loss of cotnrast in low light conditions being a
universal repercussion of LASIK. This conflicts with my own (anecdotal
I suppose) experience of having LASIK but no loss in contrast. I can
see just the same in low light as I could before with contacts. So what
am I supposed to make of that?
