Overcorrected LASIK is only 1 eye, is this right?

Lisa1625
I recently had lasik eye surgery and it turns out one of my eyes has been overcorrected. My original prescription was -5.00 in both eyes. My right eye is now showing a perfect 20/20 vision. My left eye is showing I’m now +3.75. This doesn’t seem right, can one eye really be overcorrected this much? I’m afraid my doc made a mistake. He said he can fix it but I’m nervous about letting him do surgery again. Please advise...
