A member asked:
Can you tell me how can deterioration work after lasik, lasek, or prk eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is called...: Regression and never returns to the previous glass prescription. It is more likely to happen in those who have moderate to severe myopia. Generally this becomes symptomatic 9 to 12 years after lasik.
