Is my blurry peripheral vision permanent?

March 19, 2015
Asked By:Phil0079 in Boise, ID

I got lasik eye surgery with the femtosecond laser to create the flap a few days ago. The normal haze and blurriness has begun to subside but not I notice the edges of my vision remaining blurry. I was at a -5.75 in both eyes before. I worry that the correction wasn't wide enough and I will permanently have blurred vision in my periphery. I cannot clearly see my side view mirrors while driving if I am looking ahead. Can this be corrected if it doesn't go away?
