    Answer:

    It depends. If you have enough thickness left in the cornea, mostly likely, yes. Also, this assumes no other problem like cataracts is causing the change in vision. Some doctors do not like to re-lift the flap so they will do PRK on the surface of the cornea, but if you are a good candidate for LASIK, the results should be fine.
