I had PRK surgery 6 months ago and have been using Veldrop gel for the last 5 months. My doctor recently prescribed it for another 3 months, but I've been getting eye fatigue and headaches for the past 2 days after applying the drops. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

My left eye has high myopia at 19D and my right eye is at 4D. I was recommended ICL surgery but waiting a year since my power isn't stable my left eye changed from 18D to 19D. Now I'm noticing double vision sometimes with this new prescription. Will this get better on its own or could it be something more serious?
