Can I have standard LASIK now and CustomVue™ Wavefront™ LASIK later if I change my mind?

In most cases, CustomVue™ Wavefront™ LASIK should be performed at the initial time treatment. This is because corneal tissue is removed during the vision correction process. Once the tissue has been removed with standard LASIK, it is not possible to perform further correction without removing additional tissue, possibly resulting in over-correction. An exception to this would be in a patient who previously had standard LASIK but was under-corrected, allowing the additional correction to be performed with CustomVue™ Wavefront™ LASIK.
