Lattice Degeneration

I had laser surgery for my left eye to stop retinal detachment later in life and i have retinal holes in both my eyes... basically my question is; i had a local anesthetic needle below my eye and 1 week later my pupil is far more dilated then my right pupil and i can no longer see up close as my eye does not dilate... surgeon/operator doing the laser eye surgery prescribed me pilocarpine to assist; now he gave me a prescription indefintely for these drops... he seemed very edgy concerned, and even offered giving me a greater percentage of pilocarbine... seems maybe he damaged the nerve which controls my pupil dilating after researching online... now im worried my vision is going to be effected for the rest of my life... and im only 24 years old... 3wks later, still dilating and blurred vision?  Spoke with my doctor today and he keeps playing it down, saying its getting better as not as dilated; but prolonged periods in front of computer or low light makes my vision very blurred and i have notice a significant enough difference in my vision in my left eye aswell.... ive asked for a second opinion.
