I HAD THE LASIK ON SEPTEMBER THE 1ST AND MY DOCTOR DID NOT CORRECT IT 100% DUE TO HIGH MYOPIA(20/400), I AM SEEING ABOUT 20/40 NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE ENHANCEMENT WAS DONE, DOES HE HAVE TO CUT THE FLAPS AGAIN ON THE SAME SPOT AND IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD SHORTER THAN THE FIRST SURGERY? I FELT LIKE I STILL SEE A FILM OVER MY EYE, WOULD THIS EVER GO AWAY?

Dictors are able to lift the flap for up to a year, so to do your enhancement he will not have to cut another flap. The recovery will probably be the same, perhaps slightly easier. As for your vision, it's a tough guess, but it probably seems filmy due to the undercorrection. Be sure to keep your post-op appointments to check for haze and other complications.
