What should I do if I have overcorrected vision after LASIK?

Doctor's Answer

Do not fret. In any event that you have encountered the possibility of residual refractive error after TransPRK, it would be best to seek the opinion and assistance of your surgeon. What needs to be ascertained is your precise refractive error and that would be best done at an eye clinic that can do your measurements both before after your pupils are dilated to get a more accurate reading.

In the event it is found that you truly have significant residual refractive error, your surgeon may modify your post-op medications to see if that may help shift the refractive state in your favour. Nevertheless, should any plans be made for enhancement, I would usually prefer to wait approximately 3 months for your corneas to stabilise before undergoing another round of TransPRK.
