I think there was some guidance around waiting 2–3 years since your prescription changed, which I met—though that's obviously imperfect. There was never any clear cause/effect. My best guess is that it was from being super tense d

I was something like -8, -9.5 before getting LASIK at about 21. My eyes couldn’t focus beyond a reading distance afterwards. No lens could get me to a legal driving eyesight. Surgeon had no idea why. He re-lifted the flaps afterwards and fl
