Can you have laser eye surgery a second time?
adam f asked:
I had laser eye surgery about 15 years ago and my eyes have been great. But in the last couple of years my left eye is getting weaker and it is progressively getting worse. I am thinking about approaching a laser clinic to have the procedure again.

Has anyone out there had laser surgery on their eyes more than once? And is it risky?

Yes you can. they can do touch up surgury even shortly after you get it for the first time. If its been 15 years it may be a good idea to get it again. Its safer and easier now also.

It depends on the thickness of your cornea. If you started out with thick cornea’s you won’t have any problem getting a touch up. This time go to a place that has lifetime touchups. Mine will do touchups anytime my vision goes below 20/40.

You can have it again according to what I have read. Just go see someone about having it done again and they will probably do more tests to make sure you can. I would definately check it out if you feel you need a touch up.
