The procedure you are speaking of is not widely performed and can lead to other complications. Have you considered trying LUMIFY?

You can have massage after LASIK.  You will want to avoid putting pressure on the eyes while on the massage table or chairs for a few weeks after surgery as the eyes will still be tender.

The vision often will change as a person continues to heal from LASIK.  If the near vision is mainly what is giving you issues, you could consider an over-the-counter pair of glasses, unless you have residual astigmatism as the main issue.  You could also request a prescription again...
