"blurred vision"

Dear Lasik Doctors,
I am a 59 y/o male. I had successful Rk for myopia about 10 years ago and gradually became hyperopic (+1.25) in my left eye (my dominant eye for distance). I had lasik in my left eye about 7 months ago. I have experienced some clear vision days initially. However, for about the past 2 months my vision is slightly blurred and not as good as my non-lasik eye. I especially notice the lack of clarity when looking at street signs or writing on the TV screen. My question is: Given your experience with similar cases, is is likely that my vision will become more clear in the future? If not, can you please inform me as to my options. Thank you.

I would need to know more information so that I could potentially answer this question. You should see your doctor and get a refrction to determine whether the blurriness is from myopia or a recurrence of hyperopia. Your doctor then may be able to comment as to what your future holds, and whether a touch up procedure would be helpful

I hope this is helpful

Best of luck
