Please do not remove this on your own…. The reason they want you to come back is so that they can check on the health of your eye, and make sure things are healing properly….

If you were to try to take the contact lens off you could harm the flap that they made for the lasik procedure which could seriously damage the surgery and your vision…

Even if you were an experienced contact lens wearer bandage contacts are put on there for a reason, and should not be removed until the doctor okays it.

It is essential to inform your Dr. of all procedures/surgeries you have had. Especially if you are trying to have another surgery or are trying to get a problem diagnosed.Your desire to have something "fixed" may not be in line with what is medically appropriate for you and by not sharing important information you may set yourself up for problems. Be honest with your dr.

Wavefront lasik will in most cases give better results compared to surgery without using wavefront.

However as you say yourself results are not guaranteed.

Of course with all laser eye surgery there is of course no permanent cure and at some stage later in life spectacles will again need to be worn.

Please read up as much as you can before considering surgery.

Good Luck
