VISION related question
It has been 5 weeks after my LASIK surgery. Still from right eye I am seeing everything blurry. Squeezing that eye makes things little clear. One month post op PMT shows I have -2 D of cylindrical power in right eye and -0.25S of myopia after LASIK. Is this astigmatism just a part of healing process or is it permanent? Doctor said little astigmatism occurs after LASIK in eyes due to healing of cornea. They only suggested me to use lubricating drops regularly. They forbade me to order new glasses. Will this astigmatism fade away in future ? Why astigmatism has occurred only in my right eye? Do both eyes take different times to heal? Please help. Should I wait for my astigmatism to fade away? -2D of cylindrical power is way to high. I am afraid. Due to this difference in power ( left eye perfect -0.5 myopia only), will not my brain ignore my right eye ( eye suppression due to difference in power)?

This is significant cylindrical power. It won't fade away. You have to use glasses. But this is not significant enough to cause suppression or ignoring as u mentioned. Lubricants are must. After some time you can go for Lasik workup again and ask your doctor if it's possible to do a repeat Lasik to get rid of this cylindrical power.
