I had PRK surgery 4 months ago and my right eye is 66 vision while the left is 69. With pinhole, the left eye goes to 66. My doctor found a scratch on the corneal stroma in my left eye and prescribed fluorometholone drops with lubricants. I've been using them for 2 months but my vision isn't improving to match the right eye. Why isn't it getting better and what else can be done?

After PRK surgery, if your vision hasn’t improved, the cause might be related to the corneal scratch or dry eye. Further treatments like additional lubrication, steroids, or corrective measures may be required.

Can a slit lamp microscope alone detect if PRK or TransPRK surgery has fully healed or would I need additional tests to confirm everything's okay
No, slit lamp alone can't confirm healing after PRK/TransPRK. Additional tests like corneal topography, pachymetry, and visual acuity are needed for complete assessment.
