The "rebound" is a function of the initial correction.
In my case, I was starting at -7 (both eyes).
Not surprisingly, my left regressed to about 20/50 over about 9 months (yeah, it took awhile to stabilize)
After one followup, it's at 20/20.
Right eye was 20/30 from the start, no changes (sometimes that bugs me inside, in very low light conditions)
That was pre-wavefront - recently a relative with worse eyes than mine, had the wavefront and laser flap and he walked out 20/20 both eyes.
More than 5 years later, I still stop sometimes when I'm outside and marvel at how crystal clear everything is without glasses.
[quote RAMd®d]jdc, you'd know better than us, but really- Lasik isn't 100%, almost ever.
And eventually it unwinds anyway.
