Regression after lasik

I got my Intralase Lasik from a reputed doctor in VA. I was -6.75 in my left eye and -8.0 in my right eye before surgery. 1 days after lasik I was 20/80 in left eye and 20/50 in right eye. 3 weeks post alsik I am 20/100 in left eye and 20/30 in right eye. I regreessed in left eye. I am very concerned as my left eye is not improving. I want to know if this is part of healing and I have a chance of improving or will I need a enhancement. Is it possible that my eye does not get corrected after enhancement??? Please advice or share your experience.

Thanks doctor Ray. Do you think I should seek a second opinon to see what went wrong with my surgery. Now my surgeon is recommending an enhancement after 3 months.

I can not tell from the information.  This is unusual.
