laser eye, regression after 2 years... repeat?

[lucozade2]

hi i had LASEK, 2 years ago... over the past few months, i've noticed my eye sight is not that shap anymore.

i went back to them and they tested my eyes, said the right is -1/2 and the left is -1/4

but i really notice it....

anyway, they said i could get them laserd again... but should wait til they settle down... it's been a few months allready.

so, is it safe to get them lasered again? is this common?

thanks

I had bi lateral laser surgery on the 18th of October and am nearly 20/20 vision, but I have halos and star bursts around lights at night and this is making driving diffacult, the surgeon has told me that these will go in time, can you tell me if this is the case?

Thanks Chris

This is a small correction.  I  would wait and see if it progresses.  You don't want a touch up every few years.

Yes, it is safe.

Regression is about a few percent.
