Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having short sightedness following correction for short sightedness by lasik surgery.
This is not normal and this indicates under correction and requires secondary lasik surgery to correct this residual refractive error.
This process is called as enhancement lasik surgery and you can undergo it.
Do consult your doctor for treatment by enhancement lasik surgery.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
