I had PRK 3 months ago, still cannot see clearly. Will it get any better, or is there something else that needs to be done?

Cataract surgery on both eyes 7 months ago, Intraocular lens place-left eye: Model ZXT150 Diopter +23.5D SE 1.50D CYL -touric. Right eye: up grade was more for reading. 4 months later I still was not able to see clearly, PRK done 3 months ago and I still cannot see distance without glasses; reading I need 2.0 readers. No improvement since the start of April. Left is about 20/70ish and right is 20/30-40ish. The goal was no glasses. My eyes are other wise very healthy (age 64).
