I had one eye done Jan. 99 and have since learned that my GASH problems are uncorrectable due to large pupils. So, I am "biding my time", waiting for techniques and technology to improve enough to give me viable surgical options. But-- how long after LASIK can an enhancement be done? I have heard of flaps being lifted several years afterwards, but I have no specifics. Apparently I have a perfect, well-healed flap, if that is at all relevant.
Thank you,

There is no time limit for when LASIK enhancement can be done. After one year, it's probably best to create a new flap rather than lift the one you already have. So, any time in the future that technology catches up with you, you could consider enhancement should that be a medically viable option for you. Good luck.
