Why do some people have LASIK twice?
Patients who do not have all of their nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism corrected by LASIK can elect to wear glasses or contact lenses or have additional ‘enhancement’ surgery. Regression, in which the eye initially improves but returns to a level of nearsightedness within six months, can happen in 10% of patients. Generally, follow up surgery is not performed for at least three months following the original procedure.
