I am 6 months post-Custom/Intra-LASIK with astigmatism in one eye. He suggested that he perform a limbal relaxing incision (LRI) or AK on this eye as a solution to my relatively poor vision in this eye caused by the astigmatism.

Any suggestions on why I should or should not do this?
Is LASIK enhancement or LRI better at treating astigmatism?
Is LRI less dangerous than LASIK enhancement?
Is it effective?
Does it limit later enhancements?

Note: I had very severe photophobia for a month after my IntraLASIK procedure. He thought that this may be a better alternative as relifting the flap could cause reoccurence. But that was only temporary.

Thanks,
David
