She has large pupils. If you have large pupils your night vision will probably be worse. They will tell you during the eval and you can ask if you have "large pupils"

I have large pupils (larger than 5mm I think?) so I passed on it after having my eyes evaluated, because I like hiking and doing outdoors stuff at night.

If you're going that route, do PRK, not Lasik. Slightly longer recovery, no flap
