"Paragon Ortho-K lens use prior to Lasik"

Hi there. Just wondering if I could get some advice on this. I have been wearing Paragon lenses which reshape your corneas while you sleep for 2 years now. Just wondering how long I would have to wait to get my Lasik evaluation done.
I would also be curious to hear from other users of these types of lenses and their Lasik experience, as I've not heard of anyone going from ortho-k to lasik.
Thanks!

We recommend being out of hard contact lenses for six weeks for every three years of use. Some doctors say less, few say more, but in all cases you must be out of them until your corneas have returned to their natural shape.
Many Ortho-K doctors take a measurement of the corneal shape before starting the program. This would provide your pre-Paragon baseline and you would need to return to this level before measurements for Lasik laser eye surgery. If not pre-Paragon measurements are available, your doctor can evaluate your eyes repeatedly until changes are no longer observed.
