18 months ago I had lasik for myopia and astigmatism. Resulted in 20/20 with bad night vision that got worse after a revision. I saw a different Dr. who did PRK and lasik for right eye dominant monovision. That resulted in double vision, my diopter was to far apart. I can't work or drive. I was told it would get better as it heals. It's been 2 weeks and my eyesight is worse. Besides not having night vision my plane of sight is half blurry, half clear and I need readers to do anything. Help?
