2.5 mos after wavefront optimized PRK with alcon excimer 5000. Still having significant ghosting especially with reading road signs and traffic lights at night and on 1 drop pred forte for mild haze according to DO. Chances this will resolve in months to come? Current rx: plano, -1.25 and plano, -1.00? Please see pic for most recent post-op note and topo scans. Do I need an enhancement? Would i benefit more from topo or wavefront PRK for the enhancement if so?
