Time: I would give it time to stabilize. I think the enhancement should have postponed for 3-4 months after the initial "error." once stable, if there is residual prescription, you may need another touchup.

Don't panic: Do not worry. A correction can almost always be found for and rx error after lask. You will be ok. I have done 150, 000 refractive cases since 1979.

Lasik enhancement: It is unclear the extent of the error, but usually enhancements are possible.
