Regression

Another complication that can occur, but which you rarely hear people talk about is regression. When regression occurs, the eye tends to regress back towards its original prescription. Believe it or not, this situation can and does sometimes occur. If it does occur, a Lasik doctor can perform an enhancement on it to correct the problem. Unfortunately, there is a caveat to the enhancement. For the Lasik surgeon to perform the enhancement, your cornea will have to meet a certain threshold for thickness. If you do need an enhancement, it will most likely be performed around three to six months after the first Lasik eye surgery.
