lasik questions

Hello and excuse my english I am from Finland.I had lasik surgery 5 years ago for farsightdness and I also had astigmatism and strabismus I think my left eye was amblyopic when I was a kid and treated with corrective glasses I was wearing glasses until lasik.Now I can see 100% to my dominant eye and 80% to my other eye and the strabismus is gone with the surgery.i was wondering if lasik corrected my amblyopia and if there is a chance the use of the dominant eye to degenarate the vision to the lazy eye?

LASIK does not correct amblyopia.  You should not see any change in your vision due to amblyopia as an adult.
