Hello

You should wait for 3-6 weeks from the day of lasik surgery so that a final opinion about the presence of any refractive error could be established. Subsequently, if there is not difficulty in your routine work, you can avoid any further treatment or else, in my opinion, try using glasses instead of going for a repeat surgery.
