1 month post op LASIK, vision is clear only momentarily after eye drops?

Question

Had lasik surgery 31 days ago My vision on both eyes is still some what blurry.. but once I put in eye drops for dryness vision becomes crystal clear but only temporarily 15 seconds. My question is When will I get to see clear like when I put in eye drops ? Did my surgery go well since I see very clear with drops even tho only for couple of seconds ? Or if it’s just the fluid fooling me into seeing clear.

Temporary Dry Eye after Lasik is common. If lubricant drops aren't giving you the relief you need and you aren't on any other medicated eye drop, there are lots of options. I skip most Restasis, Xiidra, Plugs, Omega-3 oil because you pay $1 but are only 3 cents better usually.Unfrozen Autologous Serum Tears work wonderfully and usually clear things up in a matter of weeks. They rarely need to by used for more than 2 months.
