What is an enhancement? Will I need one following LASIK surgery?
When a significant undercorrection or overcorrection occurs, it is often (but not always) possible to lift the LASIK flap and repeat laser treatment. The “enhancement” rate is 5 to 15 percent, depending on the original refraction. Higher corrections correspond to a more frequent need for enhancement. When you undergo refractive surgery at Wills Eye Institute, there is no additional cost for enhancements done during the first year after your initial procedure.
