My ophthalmologist said that I have large pupils about 7.5mm which causes halos and star bursts at night. So my question is can people with large pupils get PRK eye surgery?

The area of your eye that is changed needs to be at least as large as your pupil. Whether or not this can happen depends on how high your prescription is and how thick your cornea is. If your prescription is low and your cornea is thick then maybe.
