I had RK surgery ~ 10 years ago. Had both eyes done and have had very good vision until recently. I notice my (R) eye is still very good, but my (L)eye is getting worse. I went to a local Optometrist. He said my (R) eye was still 20/25, but my (L) eye was "over corrected". He fit me with glasses, but they make my vision double.
Would a doctor ever consider doing surgery on an eye that had previous RK and correction for asigmatism, IF appropriate. Just wondered if it was even a possibility and worth persuing.

It is certainly reasonable to do LASIK after RK as long as your prescription has stabilized.
You should seek out an experienced LASIK surgeon for a consultation.
Good Luck, Dean Hu
