Bright surfaces and lights cause ghosting and glare in left eye. Right eye is great. What do you recommend I do?

Asked By:robbtt in Overland Park, KS

Lasik was done 12 days ago. There’s ghosting and glare in the left eye caused by bright surfaces and lights (worst at night or indoors), and I see ghosts of lights as triangles, especially at night. I also noticed that if I cover the top part of my left eye, the glare goes away and my left eye becomes sharper. Doc said there are no wrinkles in the flap and that I just need to give it time to heal. Again, this is just the left eye. Right eye is great, no glare. Thoughts?
