LASIK Enhancement and Retreatment At Bellevue LASIK, we experience an overwhelming success rate with our patients in only one refractive treatment. However, due to each individual's prescription level and unique physiology, an additional treatment or enhancement, may be required. A patient may be a candidate for a LASIK retreatment or enhancement procedure. Eligibility will be determined by the terms and conditions outlined in the Enhancement policy. The patient must generally wait at least three (3) months after the first LASIK eye surgery and must have adequate corneal tissue and stable vision, and meet other conditions of the retreatment policy. Results cannot always be predetermined or guaranteed. There are currently two methods used for retreatment. One involves relifting the flap created from the first surgery and reshaping the underlying corneal tissue. The second involves making a new flap. Both methods involve all the original risks of LASIK eye surgery. Our goal is to help you achieve a life free from the dependence of eye glasses or contacts. It should be noted, however, that all patients eventually require the need for reading glasses as part of the unrelated and natural aging process of the eye.
