Will LASIK cause amblyopia (lazy eye)?

December 21, 2014
Asked By:skylarlane in Little York, IN

I did lasik enhancement on my right eye 1 month ago. Ever since, under high contrast screens and bright light sources I experienced multiple visions/ghosting at low light Under artificial bright light, I feel that my brain is not processing the image coming from my right eye. When both eyes are used, I feel lopsided. When my left (good) eye is covered, the images from right eye converge and start to focus on the object (especially wordings). Has lasik caused my right eye to become lazy eye?
