I don't need it to be night to realise that. I have -13 on both eyes, near-sightedness (not sure about the correct terminology in English). I see clearly for about one centimetre right by the tip of my nose, everything closer or further than that is a blurry and fuzzy mess. To use my phone without glasses I have to press it against my nose and can only see about half of the screen width clearly.

I think they just meant night time is when people remove glasses, so that's when you notice the difference 😎

Oof I'm circa -10/-11 and that's rough enough. I'd say an inch vision not a centimeter for me.

Do you have an option for eye surgery?

I did it with -8/9 R/L and they sit at -0.5/1 diopter now nine years post LASIK. Best decision I've ever made.

I've seen videos of eye surgery, no thank you I'm happy with my glasses and contact lenses

I've seen videos too. LASIK with double laser is the least intrusive. Pop a Xanax and fifteen minutes later it's over.

I was enjoying the light show a lot. Very interesting experience and would do it again in a heartbeat if needed.

The other issue is I'm pretty sure it's hugely expensive isn't it?

It's also not risk free. There are tons of YouTube videos talking about people's bad experiences with it including possible side effects, some of which are a dealbreaker for me like a mouse cursor having starbursts. No thank you, I will take my glasses over that. I'd never opt for eye surgery unless medically necessary.
