A. Yes. What you are asking about is called Enhancement Surgery. An enhancement can be done as long as you have adequate corneal thickness remaining after your first surgery. When Lasik is performed, the shape of the cornea is flattened AND the cornea is thinned. Depending upon how thick your cornea was to start with and how much the cornea had to be thinned to achieve the amount of flattening needed to correct you prescription, you may or may not be able to have an enhancement. But, most people are able to have an enhancement. To know for sure, you will need to go in and find out how much change you have to correct this time and how thick your cornea is now. Your surgeon will be able to calculate this for you and tell you whether you are able to have an enhancement. Hope this helped.
In response to what was said by dog lover, this is simply not the case at all if patient selection is done correctly. If a patient is at least 18 and we can demonstrate that their prescription is stable, the chances of long term stability of a post operative prescription is quite high. In fact the great majority of patients, if they fit this criteria, do remain stable the remainder of their lives. As an example, I had my laser done 13 years ago and my prescription is EXACTLY the same now as it was 6 months after my surgery. And I am not an exception.

Where is the best place for LASIK eye laser surgery in South Korea?
Q. I'm interested in getting corrective eye laser surgery (LASIK) and I want to know where the number one place for that is. I'll pay top dollar for guaranteed results (or as close to it as possible).
A. Lasik eye surgery is rather safe if only you are a suitable candidate. As with any surgery, there is a definite risk incurred. You must be screened for suitability and examined by the doctor personally. (Not the sales team to mislead you to get expensive package deal).
If you are a suitable candidate, the risk maybe :-
1.)Dry eyes (temporary)
2.)Regression/ enhancement
3.)Infection (3-5/20,000 for the next 3 weeks)
4.)Flap/ complication of treatment (rare)
5.)Miscellaneous
A suitable candidate for Lasik surgery, it depends on:-
1.)Your corneal thickness
2.)Your power
3.)Your age
4.)A centre with a doctor who is examining your eyes personally
5.)Torough explanation to suit your lifestyle
Always insist on seeing the doctor performing the surgery for you. It is the due deligent of him or her to present the risk and benefit to you in detail personally.

A. The cost of LASIK eye surgery may or may not include any of the following:
Royalties owed to laser manufacturers.
Purchase and maintenance of surgical and technical equipment.
Surgical gowns, gloves, masks, and other sterile and disposable materials.
Medications used before, during, and after surgery, including anesthesia, eye drops, and oral pain medications.
Rent for surgical and office facilities.
Surgical and office staff salaries.
Advertising fees.
Pre- and post-operative evaluations for up to one year after surgery.
Post-surgical enhancement, if needed.
Since many of these LASIK eye surgery price quotes are variable according to office location, the technology employed, and other factors specific to each surgeon, it is important for prospective patients to fully research what they are paying for when they have LASIK laser eye surgery. Be sure to ask surgeons to clearly outline what is and what is not included in their prices for LASIK before agreeing to any payment plans or methods.

Who has experience with lasik eye surgery and would like to tell me about it?
Q. How long does it last? Is the cost/last really worth it? Did it hurt afterwards? Anything else you want to tell me about it?
A. LASIK should last your whole life. if you would ever need an enhancement you could get one done. I had mine done at TLC Vision and I can go in if I ever need an enhancement done and they would do it for free (it all depends on who you get to do the surgery).
No hurt at all after I had it, they give you drops to put in your eyes and eye guards for at night so you don't scratch or rub them.
I could see as soon as I sat up on the operating table. They had me read the clock on the wall.
I would recommend this for anyone.
