Brief Answer:
residual correction after lasik.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for posting your query.
If you are comfortable in the visual acuity then it is ok. But if refraction post operatively done is correct then you should go for residual correction by specs.
In my opinion you can wait for few days since post lasik surgery healing is in process of settling down. May be after few days you may not need any correction. So every thing depends on your acceptance of visual acuity. If its fine for you then you need not go for specs but if you feel the vision is better with correction then you should have it.
Hope it helps.
