Had Lasik almost exactly 3 years ago at TLC with the Visx Star 2. Originally my vision was -450, -125x10 right, -425 -250x178 left. My vision is now 20/25 right eye; 20/40 left. I don't mind the mild monovision, as it allows me to read under most conditions. But the treatment left astigmatism of 125x180 right and 175x180 left, and slight decentrations. Or at least the correction zones are smaller than the pupil in any but bright sunlight. I have corrective glasses for night driving but I see big ghosts and halos while driving at night. I've been thinking about getting an enhancement but I'm worried about the risks and about the idea of lifting the flap at this point. Any advice? Thank you so much for your help.

Just want to add a few details - I'm late 40's, no complications after lasik except mild dryness and increased floaters. I've been getting annual checkups with my OD and clean bills of ocular health.
