Blurry right eye 1 year after Lasik

[mellyb]

Hello,

I went back to my Laser Eye clinic to discuss my more blurrier right eye, and after checking was told that my left eye prescription is 0 and my right is -0.5 (1 year on after lasik surgery carried out for -1.25 prescription both eyes)

I was told that the surgeon refused to perform an enhancement on the right eye as -0.5 difference is considered too miminal for an enhancement, and by performing an enhancement will have a risk impact if I need laser eye surgery in the future.

I'd therefore like to obtain a second opinion and would appreciate some advice as to whether what I am being told is correct.

Kind regards

Hi Dr.O,

Can you please describe what type of symptoms your paients were experiencing for you to carry an enhancement based on a similar case to myself?

Kind regards

It depends on symptoms.  I have enhanced many people with this number.

Hi Dr.O.

Many thanks for your response.

I just want to make sure that I am clear in regards to your response.

Are you saying that a -0.5 difference in the right eye is not considered too minimal, therefore asking for an enhancement in the situation I am in is not uncommon, and should be offered by my laser eye clinic?

Kind regards

This is an easy enhancement and indicated considering you started as a -1.25.
