I had Lasik 8 months ago with a -5.75 SPH. now I have a -1.0 CYL (astigmatism). I still see star bursting. Is this normal?

I have remained very confused and concerned on my condition. Should I consider an enhancement? Will it help in fixing the star bursting that I'm seeing? Should I consider any medication. (My Opthalmologist has recommended I use FML for a month along with Alphagan for 3 months. I doubt it will help as I tried using it for a short period with no improvements.) I've gone back to wearing glasses which completely defeats the purpose of getting lasik done in the first place.
