I have had symfony lenses for 3 years, the left eye is sph -0.50 cyl +0.50 and the right is sph -0.50 without astigmatism.

I can see very well up close and I haven't worn glasses for near vision for 3 years. I've been without 20/25 glasses for a long time and I only wear glasses for night driving and rarely on TV.

I had asked the doctor to do everything I could to have good intermediate and distant vision,

He told me that because I had done lasik years ago, he could not guarantee the result.

I really like the way it turned out, although he suggested that he could make me the remote with PRK.

However, I am so happy with the final result that I don't want to take a risk,
Does the astigmatism in the left eye go anywhere?
΅hat is your opinion please

That 0.50 diopters of astigmatism is miniscule, and with the small amount of residual myopia the spherical error is 0.25 diopters, almost nothing.  Most surgeons would not do more surgery for that miniscule amount of refractive error
