Can I have a lasix enhancement or do I need to do PRK or maybe just contacts and glasses?

Question

I got bladess lasix surgery 11 years with great results and no real issues. I've noticed a gradual regression in my right eye for a few months but these past 3-4 weeks I noticed a more progressive regression. I went to my optometrist and he said I did regress, and wrote a prescription for -250 for right eye and -100 for left eye. Question is can I and should I perform an enhancement or do I have to do PRK? Should I just do the right eye? Or do daily contacts ,or glasses? I'm 37 and pissed!Thx!!

Since you had bladeless LASIK a decade ago, it is unlikely that your flap can be relifted. Your will have to see how thick your corneas are and the shape of your corneas. Enhancing the -2.50 right eye with PRK may be best option. If you keep the left eye at a -1.00 you will be able to read for a longer time without readers.  If you enhance both eyes for distance , by the age of 40 you may need reading glasses.
