How many times can you have surgery on your eyes?
Lasik can be performed more than once, but more than three treatments may be harmful to your health and could be fruitless in the end by causing even more severe vision problems.
How often do you have to redo LASIK?
According to a study that examined LASIK’s permanence, 35\% of LASIK patients needed LASIK enhancement after 10 years. Most of the time, needing to repeat LASIK surgery after 10 years might be necessary because of an underlying condition that changes the vision over time, such as cataracts or presbyopia.
Can you have LASIK eye surgery more than once?
A second procedure is necessary if refractive errors were not corrected during LASIK. If a second procedure has been deemed necessary, another flap will be created. Most surgeons won’t perform a second LASIK procedure unless it’s 5-10 years after LASIK.
Is ICL better than LASIK?

Is Lasek more like LASIK or PRK?
