Got -1 number after few months of lasik.
I had undergone lasik surgery & my power was - 4.5 & 4.75 in both the eyes. I took lot of precautions still have got numbers in my eyes back. It started with blurriness. For dryness I frequently use drops few times a day. But now if I want to remove my numbers totally again is it possible without any lasik operation. If yes please let me know.

Not possible without repeat lasik surgery. But prior to that, many factors to be considered.
Please consult local ophthalmologist

The repeat LASIK depends on the amount of cornea ablated (removed) during the first LASIK, also on the duration since LASIK and your residual power.
If you are troubled by your glasses then you may, if your power is less.

Try and understand a few things.
First, kindly confirm if the number is actually really back. For that get a DILATED refraction (power test) by an ophthalmologist.
Regression (number coming back) is not very common so soon after LASIK.
If the number is actually back, unfortunately it cannot be removed without surgery
Next Steps
Follow 20-20-20 rule
Avoid Eye Rubbing
DILATED refraction
Immunomodular eye drops
