How often do you need enhancements after lasik surgery?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Rarely: Most patients who have lasik never need an enhancement. The enhancement rate depends on your prescription, but is usually in the range of 5%. You should discuss your individual situation with your lasik surgeon.

5-10%: The general estimate for lasik enhancement is 5-10%. It is more commonly needed in people with greater refractive error pre-operatively.
