The front surface takes time to fully heal after laser vision correction. Dryness, small prescriptions can result in the symptoms you describe. Additionally, some people notice glare, haloes or starbursts for a few months. Most often, over time with healing they resolve. You should speak with your eye doctor if you are concerned.
