A member asked:
Can eyesight continue to deteriorate after laser surgery has been done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Laser vision correction can correct your prescription but it is not self adjusting. If the prescription changes in the future, the laser treatment will not remain 100% accurate. For most people, the prescription is stable from the early 20s to the 50s.
