Laser surgery myopia

[237SJ]

If you have laser surgery to correct short-sightedness and in time the eyes become slightly short-sighted again (for example going from zero to -1.5) can you go back to wearing contact lenses or are you confined to wearing spectacles?

the surface of the eye heals within a couple of days of laser surgery, so I can't think of any reason why you couldn't go back to contacts.. but best check with the optician first.
