How common is it to be this over corrected? Will my vision get better?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

It's uncommon but happens perhaps 1% of the time or less. Hopefully you had a true cycloplegic exam before your surgery. You need another one now to know what's going on for sure. It should be easy to correct.
