Vision after lasik
I undergone lasik procedure 2 month back. Before lasik my power is -8.00 with -2.00 cylindrical on 30 degree axis on right eye and -7.00 with -2.25 cylindrical on 145 degree axis. After one month of lasik procedure i can able to read the last line of the eye checkup board but the vision is blurry.The computer power shows that -1.00 with -1.00 cylindrical on 30 degree axis on right eye and +0.25 on left eye. Is it cant be possible to attain zero power after lasik? Do i need enhanced surgery for clear vision? Doctors promised me for zero correction is there any mistake happened during surgery? Do i need glasses? I feel blurry vision on post surgery follows the doctor says please use lubricant every thing is fine but i didnt feel any dry eye will the lubricant gives clear vision.I cant able to see even the tv clearly.May i know why bcause my vision is blure even after i can able to read the last time with both eye open. What can i do to get clear vision and zero correction? Is it normal?

The aim of refractive surgery is to make you spectacle free (not getting 0 power). If you are able to read the last line of the chart then for most daily routine work you should be able to manage without glasses.
Lubricants are used to prevent and/or treat dry eyes post refractive surgery. Kindly continue them.
Does your vision improve after wearing glasses in the right eye? If yes then there is a chance that a repeat procedure may help clear that number.
Next Steps
Visit your eye specialist regarding these same issues.

Post any type of refractive surgery, there is some amount of dryness(even if you don't feel the dryness symptoms..) And that dryness also causes vision blur.
So using a good lubricant drop everyday atleast four times a day, is important.
You can ignore the power in your left eye, but for right eye , see if you find your vision clearer with the cylindrical number.
Next Steps
computer generated numbers should be correlated with clinical testing also, with the trial frame.
