I had PRK corrective surgery on my right eye about 2 years ago. Within days, the vision in my right eye was perfect. Five months ago, I had my left eye corrected. Afterwards my vision wasn't very clear - overall I could see farther, but there was quite a strong blur on everything in my vision on my left eye. Two weeks ago, I had a PRK enhancement done. Now, 2+ weeks later, my vision is generally quite blurry still. Would I be ill-advised to request a third enhancement?

They should have told you that recovery after PRK is very long, you should have gotten LASEK instead as it is as safe as PRK, they should have also told you 2 things:1. you will be initially farsighted from overcorrection to allow for regression, so you don't wind up undercorrected2. if you were...
