1 month after PRK over correction and blurry distance view. Any suggestions?

Question

Hi! I'm 36 years old and just passed the 1 month mark on my PRK procedure on April 15. I had left eye -4.75, and right eye -3.50. A month after PRK, my left eye is 75/50 and right eye 50/50. What does this mean? My reading is fine, but distance viewing is blurry. While driving, I can't read street signs as well as when I was wearing glasses or contacts. Will this still improve in time? I hope someone can help

you are not over corrected you are undercorrected and have residual myopiathis will NOT get better ever, you need an enhancement, but need to wait until you are stable (3-6 months postop)tell your friends to get LASEK not PRK, same improved safety compared to LASIK but quicker recovery than PRK and no pain unlike PRK
