"Flap complications."

In Feburary of 2003 I had lasik surgery preformed. On my right eye things went well. After surgery my eye was -.75. But it has been regressing back. Currently it is -1.25. I was told that this happens 5-10% of the time. Is this normal? Also, my left eye has flap complications. During the cutting of the flap,the machine gouged my eye and left a corresponding ridge under the flap. Since then nothing has been done to that eye surgically. I was told that I have lost 5% of my "clear" vision due to the gouge and scar tissue. At my last visit the doctor said that he can preform lasik on this eye. I belive my thickness is 495. Is this the right procedure for my problem and what are the risks involved? I am currently wearing contacts in both eyes with less than perfect vision. Thank you for any insight on these questions.
