No improvements two weeks post LASIK. Doc said it would take longer because of astigmatism, advice?

I've had my lasik surgery after two weeks now. My right eye is constantly improving yet my left eye hasn't improved at all. The doctor told me that I have really bad astigmatism and it will take longer for it will get better and for the flap to align with it well.
