Hi Doctor, I had Right Eye: 4.25 in right eye , .5 cylindrical Left eye: 3.75 spherical. Did laser 5 years before and in immediate post check-up :cylindrical was still there and left eye is normal. But gradually its getting increased and now Right: 1 spherical, .5 cylindrical Left: .75 spherical I am trying to manage without spectacles. Will it get increase beyond that or can i take laser operation again?

Hi and welcome to HCM,
Laser surgery to remove glasses, has a very major drawback, which is regression. It means that some number gradually comes back.
I you are very keen to get rid of your glasses, then you can redo the surgery, but before that the status of your cornea has to be evaluated.
All the best!!!
