Laser eye surgery - one year on (and a bit)

I got my eyes lasered at Optical Express on Harley Street in London back in May 2008. I was very pleased with the results and had perfect eyesight for over a year. After the procedure my eyesight was perfect in my right eye and -0.25 in my left.

Back in September 2009 I landed a new job which involves a lot of computer work and lectures with ohp presentations and I've noticed a bit of a decline in my eyesight at distance. It's annoying to say the least because it was an expensive procedure and I've enjoyed being free of glasses.

I went back for a checkup this morning and they confirmed that it had dropped a bit and my eyesight is now -0.5 in the left and -0.25 in the right. Good news is that I'm not just imagining it and there's nothing serious wrong, bad news is I think it's going to get a bit worse.

They want to keep an eye for 3 months to monitor the progress but are happy to redo the procedure once it settles again. I'm happy with that, but only once my eyes have truly settled down because I don't know if they can keep redoing the procedure and I'm not sure if I want my eyes repeatedly meddled with.

Edit: they want to keep an eye for 3 months? That doesn't read right. Ugh, did it again, that didn't come out right. Oh god not again.
