Hello Dr. I had PRK surgery 6 weeks ago and still continue to have double vision. My previous RX was -6.50 with -1.25 astigmatism (R) and -5.50 with -0.50 astigmatism (L). So far, my distance vision is excellent in daylight but indoors I notice significant double vision and an almost 30% drop in clarity. I am on Restasis, Fish oil, Vit C, and Refresh Optive PF and I am very consistent with use. I finished the prednisone eye drops at week 5. Will my double vision continue to improve? Thanks.
