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?
