What is the national average (% wise) for patient's needing "touch ups" after Lasik?

Is there anything specific I should ask my potential doctor before allowing them to preform Lasik on me? Is the procedure mostly done by the computer/laser and just 'guided' by the doctor?

It usually takes 3 months to obtain your final vision after Lasik. In some cases, it can be 6-12 months.

Have you tried using lubricant eye drops regularly? Difficult to say without an examination but would start with simple treatments first before rushing into anything else.

It is unlikely that a flashlight can change the results of the LASIK procedure or cause damage to the retina. However, if you are concerned about the exposure from the light, I would get a dilated eye exam so the doctor can examine your retina.
