You need to see the surgeon if you have ghosting. The medicine use is very important and steroids drops shouldn't be stopped to soon. Usually, if you have haze that is caused by corneal haze, the steroid drop dose would be increased. If your haze is from something else, then another treatment would indicated.Not all surgeons follow their own surgeries. With due respect, not all optometrists have seen mild PRK haze. So if the surgeon hasn't seen you, get an appointment.
