I had smile Relex 3yrs ago but in the past 8 mnts my eyesight has regressed quite rapid & now have to wear glasses for driving for general short sightedness.I returned to my opthalmologist who said that he can perform Lasik on my right eye to correct again& this will hopefully solve issue. is this a safe procedure to do following on from smile Relex&is it a good idea to do it now or should I wait until my prescription stabalises as I dont want my eyesight to further regress in another 3yrs?
