Blurry Vision after Epi-Lasek

Lasek Guy
I had Epi-Lasek about 10 weeks ago. The doctor says I have roughly 20/20 vision in both eyes. However long distance viewing is blurry and not crisp/sharp. I have a .50 prescription left in the left eye. When I put the artifical tears I get 1 second of sharpness, but I don't believe I have dry eyes. I got two other opioions and 1 doctor said I have dry eyes and trace haze (which the first doctor said the same thing) and the third doctor said my haze was a 1 (between 1 and 100) and that I have allergies and not dry eyes. Not sure what to make of all this - from all Ive read at this point 10 weeks in, I doubt my vision will improve. Im also taking strong steroids to relieve the haze but I see no improvement after 10 days. Thoughts?
