Should I consider a touch up if my vision becomes worse in 10 months?

Question

I had LASIK done 10 months ago. For 2 months it was not good, was not able to read or watch TV. After 3 months vision got better. I was able to watch TV and drive without discomfort. Now after 10 months vision got worse again with headaches, glares, very blurred vision. Before surgery I was -2,5 on both eyes, now I got prescription back to 0,5 on both eyes. Should I consider enhancement?

It probably depends on your age. To see if an enhancement would help you could try wearing .5 contacts and see what happens with your symptoms. If they all go away you have an easier answer. If you still have some symptoms it may not be the left over  or remaining prescription that is the cause of your issue.It's an important step because usually people with your amount of prescription are not as bothered as you describe.See the surgeon.
