How long should I wait after my first surgery before I have an enhancement?
 

This will depend on the type of refractive surgery. With Lasik and PRK, most surgeons wait three to six months after the first surgery, but can be performed earlier and much later.

 

If your surgeon wants to perform an enhancement, ask why s/he wants to do the enhancement in the timeframe suggested.
