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

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?
