medical exam/lasik question

Hi all, Im an aspiring student pilot and will soon be visiting an AME for an 1st Class Medical Certificate.

My concern is that I had a LASIK procedure done 4 months ago but still having problems with night vision(specificly, "starbursts" and soft "halos" around street lamps and headlights).My visual acuity is better than 20/20, but its the night vision issues that have'nt resolved themselves.

Would the examiner consider this a condition for a rejection? Could I still be granted an 1st class medical if its treatable?

I know that I should just wait for the examination but my nerves are wracked as my career plans/dreams are at stake.

Your replies are greatly appreciated.
