44 yr old analyst had Lasik monovision 7 months ago. (prior PWR - 7.5, CYL -1 both eyes) Achieved targeted Right eye 0 diopter , Left eye - 1.5 diopters after OP. At 3 month post-OP, Right eye regressed to -0.5 and the Left to - 1.75. I feel some depth perception discomfort and blurriness due to dry eyes. 1. How much more regression would occur? 2.
