Can Blurry Eye After the Laser Treatment Be a Serious Problem?

blurryeyeAug 2, 2013
I had Lasik 1.5 month ago. My left eye is still blurry and much more dry than the right eye.The bluriness affects smaller objects or details in far out objects , but overall distance vision is fine (probably due to the right eye strength).when I use the eye drops in the left eye the vision improves for 3-4 minuts after that it starts decreasing.When I asked my doctor about this situation he told me that it will take around 3 months to recover. and also advised to increase frequency of eye drops.
