Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello,

Dry eyes is a commonly seen issue following Lasik surgery but responds very well to lubricating eye drops in most cases. You can also use lubricating eye drops such as Systane or Genteal eye drops, 1 drop 4-6 times a day for about 1-2 months. This will give you symptomatic relief. Tear film instability can cause blurred vision too. If not then get your vision and refraction done by your ophthalmologist again.
