Another solution to preserving night vision is to use a tactical flashlight ... they are bright enough to ruin BG's nightvision while allowing you to positively identify BG as BG.
XD40Coyote - I had intacs installed instead of lasik and haven't had any issues at all. Also, most Eye Centers will have a layaway payment plan that should fit your finances, it doesn't hurt to ask.
As for the intacs, I was a good shot with a rifle before the installation, I qualified Pistol Expert after the installation and shoot even better with a rifle now.
As you can see, there is no problem with my vision, but I had to 'reset' my distance estimates. Can you guess where I got the idea for this shot:
Range: Outdoor, Wind speed: 15mph w/gusts to 22 mph, Wind direction: from R-L @45 degree from behind.
The Ace was shot with a Puma Carbine .357lever action, andSO said I was closer to 12 feet rather than the 8 I had already marked, and I did this on the first shot.
The 5 was shot with a Bersa Thunder .380 under same conditions, and this time, SO said I was closer to 10, as you can see, I shot twice, the top first, the bottom last.
I was sooooo excited as this was the second time I had shot after getting my eyes done (end of first week.) It is also great to get up in the AM able to see immediately!
The only thing I would not do after getting intacs was when certifying with OC, I would not take a live hit. After the $ I spent, I wasn't going to take a chance of the OC being absorbed by the intac. That's OK, I don't have to take the hit as I have had plenty of teary eyes from cutting jalapeno's for salsa!
