Proper Exam

The symptoms you are describing are not normal side-effects of a successful LASIK surgery. Since we cannot diagnose the problem without a proper exam, my best advice is to call your doctor

Monocular diplopia after LASIK

You probably have some astigmatism in that eye. You need an AR or MR. You may need an enhancement in that eye. You may have wrinkles in your eye causing that double vision. That's the advantage of LASEK as there's no flap to get wrinkled and cause diplopia
