Dryness is a common reason for lack of sharpness

Dryness is a common reason for lack of sharpness but ask your surgeon for more details. Occasionally temporary glasses or an enhancement may be needed to sharpen driving vision.

Blurry Vision after LASIK

There can be a number of reasons why the vision seems blurry to you.  I would recommend that you seek care from your doctor again.  Dryness, or a small residual refractive error may make the view seem blurry compared with contact lenses.  People heal differently and a small number of people might need a second procedure, known as an enhancement.
