Can an eye that is over correct get a clear glasses prescription?

deb7781Mar 28, 2019
I had lasik years ago.. I kept telling the doctor I couldn't see clearly.. It was discovered that both eyes were wrong (a few years later.). One was under corrected and the other was over corrected. I will always need glasses. My over corrected eye is blurry even with the prescription the doctor has given me.. Can I get a clear , not blurry prescription?
