Every time you get the surgery, the laser removes a small amount of material from the cornea. Eventually, if you had surgery too many times, the remaining cornea would become too thin and weak. But your surgeon will not operate if your cornea has is too thin to allow for another surgery. Some people can not have any laser surgery because there corneas are too thin even before a single surgery. Other people can have surgery many times before they run into problems. The average person can have a few surgeries (2 or 3) before there is an issue. Also, it depends on if you have PRK or LASIK done. LASIK cuts a flap in the cornea, so it starts from a thinner distance. PRK is basically LASIK but performed on the outside of the eye instead of under a corneal flap. That is why people with thin corneas should get PRK instead of LASIK. The number of times you can have it depends on the thickness of your cornea.

I always think of it this way: 20/20 is the worst someone can see and still have "normal" vision.

I play sports and love being able to play without contact lenses. I had it 3 years ago and am very happy with it although I do periodically experience dry eye in my right eye.
