I had a very small correction in both eyes and one eye started to regress about month 3. Is it possible the other eye could still regress? It's been over 4 months post op.

Your symptoms of eyestrain are most likely attributable to an intolerance of the mono vision correction that was calculated into your PRK procedure. Most patients can adjust to it but there are many who don't appreciate the blurriness of vision in the under corrected eye. The mono vision can be...
Prk surgery requires an extended healing period. Epithelial healing can require upwards of five days during which bandage contact lens is worn. The eye is a risk for infection during this period. I would advise you to postpone surgery until after the holidays.
At three weeks out the vision may still improve although I strongly doubt that wearing a contact lens will help much. At 3 months out you will need to be evaluated for a possible refinement procedure.
