Anyone need an enhancement?

I had LASIK in August 2004, and I need to have an enhancement. My vision is about -.75 now. It was about 20/15 after surgery. Did anyone else have a similar experience with LASIK? Did your vision greatly improve after the enhancement?
Thanks!

Re: Anyone need an enhancement?

I am going to need an enhancement because I was only 20/40 in my dominant eye right after surgery and 20/30 in my non-dominant eye. I had the surgery on Dec.9th and will probably have the enhancement in my dominant eye only. If I can get it to be 20/20 and leave the other one at the 20/40 it is now, I will have what is called partial "monovision". In other words the difference in correction will not be as great as with full monovision. I can read and use the computer without reading glasses so I am happy with the right eye. I just need to improve the distance vision to be happier. I will probably have the enhancement soon after my appointment in mid-February. I will not have to have the flap cut this time, the surgeon will just lift the flap and do the enhancement. I hope that the haloes go away soon. They are getting smaller but I am still bothered with them.

Don't they want to wait to make sure your vision levels out?

Re: Anyone need an enhancement?

I had the Lasik 3 years ago tonight, and I had to have an enhancement about a year ago. About a week or so after I had it the first time, my vision corrected to 20/20, but by 2 years later it had gotten worse. Not BAD by any means, but enough that my eye doc highly recommended I get the enhancement, so I did and I've been 20/20 ever since.
