You best put your glasses on and go do some night landing practice

Don't know anyone around here to sit in the other seat in case I can't
land again.

Hire an instructor. I used to have really bad vision (Lasik, ALL the
complications you read about, would do it again) and if I didn't have
some kind of correction I wouldn't have made the field. My AME, after
my exam, asked if I carried an extra pair of glasses (YES) suggested I
might want to carry 2 pairs. I think the idea of me in the air without
correction scared the willies out of him.

So you had complications and would still do it again? I only know one
person who had problems, and he can't even drive at night now. That
scared me of ever wanting it done.
