Left eye is still blurry after 1.5 months of the Lasik surgery.

I had Lasik 1.5 month ago. After lasik, I am perfectly clear and not very dry in my right eye, and blurry and more dry in my left eye. Whatever halos I had are pretty much gone now and starbursts seem to be decreasing. No pain.
It is the left eye bluriness that bothers me and begins to concern me more and more as it has always been there post-op and is not improving with time. The bluriness affects smaller objects or details both in far out and close up objects , but overall distance vision is fine (probably due to the right eye strength).when I use the artificial tears drops in the left eye the vision improves for 3-4 minuts after that it starts decreasing.One more thing is that my left eye is much more dry than my right eye.
I am software programmer and I have to work atleast 10 hours on the computer.When I contacted my doctor about this situation he advised me to increase the frequency of the artificial tear drop and he also told me that it will take around 3 months to recover.
My question is: what could be causing this blurriness and can it still improve? I know a lot of people who had lasik and none of them had any kinds of complications aside from dry eye.How much time it will take to get competely accurate?

By now the vision should be stable and the symptoms you prescribe are not typical. You have two options go in for an extra visit for a thorough discussion.  Your second option  is to seek a 2nd opinion from another refractive surgeon.

If your problem is dryness you may need to use tears more frequently, you may need tear duct plugs.

So either speak with your surgeon and say you are very concerned. and/or get a second opinion.  In the meantime you may want to increase the frequency of artificial tear use.
