Blurred Vision After Second Lasik?

My sister did lasik eye surgery second time after 10 years for her left eye as she was having blurred vision (distant no.) However, after the second time surgery, her vision has become more blurred compared to earlier and after two weeks also she has not got a sharp vision.

Her doctor says to wait for a month. We are really worried. Can you please guide us and tell what could be the reason and what can be done now for her blurred vision?
