Is there a way to get my eyesight better without glasses because I had an IOL lens implant) after cataract surgery about 15 years ago?

Yes, it is indeed possible to have LASIK or PRK in many cases of what eye doctors call "residual ametropia" following cataract/IOL surgery. Its safety and efficacy would depend, of course, on several things that would need careful evaluation first:

1) the degree and nature of the "refractive error,"

2) whether there are any contraindications of the cornea such as tearfilm deficiency, chronic edema, or scars, and

3) a realistic assessment of the visual improvement possible if there are other conditions such as macular degeneration or glaucoma.

These should be evaluated by an eye doctor who is already skilled and experienced with such issues.
