Why is my right eye still blurry 3 weeks after laser eye surgery?

obshuSep 30, 2018
My right eye vision is still blurry after 3 weeks of my laser eye surgery, although my left eye is clear, I can read anything from a distance from my left eye but not from right eye. Why is that? I am worried about the situation.

It is still very early in your healing process. The prescription in your left eye may change and go away as you are fully healed. Keep up with the preservative free artificial tears every two hours and try to limit computer usage.

Your eyes are still healing from the procedure since it has only been 1 month. The vision has the potential to improve still.I suggest being aggressive with preservative free artificial tears and returning to your doctor to monitor the vision. If an enhancement is needed, your prescription will...

Without knowing your age, it would be hard to say what the effect the mild hyperopia will have on reading. If you are under 38 I doubt the trouble reading will last long.
