I had RK performed on my left eye about 10 years ago. I am now considering having lasik done on my right eye. Can lasik be done on my left eye to enhace the results from the RK?

Dear Joanne,

I would consider PRK in the left eye especially if the enhamcement amount is low and there is surface irregularity. LASIK can be done but one of my
Houston colleagues recently had the incisions separate under the pressure of the LASIK ring. LASIK can be done in your right eye but you need to let us know your prescription.
