And ask the doctor about the REAL limitations of post-ICL Lasik/PRK. Most

The key word being "can", which is not the same as "will". I'm starting to get
the impression that the accuracy of the lasers and/or the uncertainty in the
cornea's healing process contributes to a lot of ICL docs talking their post-ICL
patients (who fall short of 20/20) out of Lasik/PRK.
