It is more complicated, but I know that it can be done in rare situations.  The real question, however, is whether it is good idea in your specific case.  That question can only be answered by a board-certified ophthalmologist that specializes in refractive surgery.  Every case is different so please keep an open mind and try not to get your hopes up too much.  I recommend you get an opinion from two separate experts regarding your case.
