How long after my first surgery should I wait before considering an enhancement?
The decision is not based on a fixed waiting period alone. What matters most is whether your prescription has stabilized, whether the cornea and tear film have recovered adequately, and whether the reason for reduced vision is clear. Observation may be preferable while vision is still fluctuating in the early recovery period.
