Fitness of LASIK Surgery
I am preparing for LASIK in my right eye. LE is already operated 2 years ago. Since the power was not stable in my RE, was waiting for it stabilise.
As per latest reports, My number in RE has increased by 0.5 (from -6D to -6.5D ) in 3.5 Years ( Feb 2021 to Sept 2024).
Should it be considered as stable and can I safely go forward with the LASIK surgery with this observation?

Hello
0.5D change in 3.5 years : I personally would consider it stable refraction and would recommend for lasik if other parameters are in normal range.
Having said that, consult your treating ophthalmologist and ask for his recommendation
