I had RK done about 10ys ago to my left eye.
Is it possible to improve the vision I have with Lasik after an RK has been done?
Is there much experience with this?

Yes, you would be a candidate for Lasik surgery. I have personally performed LASIK over previous RK on several dozen patients and, in general, have been very pleased with the results. Because of the RK, your ophthalmologist will be carefully evaluating your eyes for what is called "irregular" astigmatism. The predictability of the outcome is not a great as an eye that has never had surgery. For more information see my web site at http://www.eugeneeyecare.com to read about astigmatism. See your ophthalmolgist for a consultation.
