I had LASIK or LASEK years ago, but my vision has become blurry again. Can I have another procedure?

A second procedure may be possible, but the first step is to identify why your vision has changed. Treatment will differ depending on whether the cause is residual nearsightedness or astigmatism, dry eye, or changes in the cornea. At First Samsung Eye Clinic, we review the original procedure, current corneal condition, and remaining corneal tissue to determine whether further correction would be safe.
