According to a study that examined LASIK's permanence, 35% of LASIK patients needed LASIK enhancement after 10 years. Most of the time, needing to repeat LASIK surgery after 10 years might be necessary because of an underlying condition that changes the vision over time, such as cataracts or presbyopia.
Is it safe to have LASIK surgery twice?
The doctor removes corneal tissue each time LASIK is performed, so if your cornea is too thin, it is not safe to operate again. Over time you may spend less by having LASIK than continuing to purchase and maintain corrective lenses.
Surgeons can perform a second LASIK surgery, called enhancement, several years after the first surgery. A repeat surgery can be repeated immediately after the recovery time of the first surgery ends or many years after. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of times one can undergo repeat LASIK surgeries.
