there is no guarantee that the no reduces to zero, this is difficult when u've a high error say -12 or so u might b left with very less power of 0.5 or 1 residual, but some percentage of ppl do have a stable vision with zero power after 6 months or so.
u can repeat it depending on if u fulfil the eligibility criteria on the first visit , that is if the parameters fit in.
number reduced permanently again depends if u've a progressive or pathological myopia ther the surgeon really cant help you.
there are no ill effects after certain no of years

Types of LASIK and Other Laser Eye Surgery:
PRK: The original laser eye surgery is still preferred by some.
Custom Wavefront LASIK: What makes it "custom?"
Epi-LASIK avoids using alcohol to remove the cornea's outer layer.
LASEK is a no-flap procedure used mostly for thin corneas.
IntraLase "Bladeless" LASIK uses a second laser, not a blade.
Presby LASIK is a possible solution for presbyopes.
SPONSORED SECTION: IntraLase Method
Bladeless LASIK technology creates more precise flaps, meaning better vision and fewer post-operative problems.
Alternatives to Laser Procedures:
CK for Hyperopia uses radio-frequency energy for corneal shaping.
Implantable Lenses (phakic IOLs) avoid removing corneal tissue.
Refractive Lens Exchange replaces your eye's natural lens.
