It depends on how thick your resideual cornea is and the radius of curviture. Return to your surgeon for repeat measurements. REMEMBER: if you are anywhere near 40 you might want to let the -1.75 eye as it is. If you were still perfect 0.00 then somewhere between age 40 and 43 you will start to need reading glasses. If you leave the -1.75 eye as is you can convert to a monovision and probably read without glasses in good light till your late 50's or early 60's.
