Lasik and PRK - can I get a touch up or am I in glasses forever?

Tough564315Jul 24, 2022
I had Lasik and needed PRK in a month. I saw 20/20 for 6 years. Now I need glasses, again for distance. I my vision is ok but I need glasses for 20/20. Can I get another touch up or am I done and in glasses forever.

You have to get an evaluation as soon as possible because the diagnostic can be variable, but it can be nevus (freckle of the eye) or something of concern.
