lasik retina,worse vision after

Hi there,

I would kindly ask you for a advice.

I had retina laser surgery on a right eye, 7 days ago, but unfortunately I have serious vision problem on that eye (the doctor found out that dioptry of that eye is even for 7 worse than before the surgery). The doctor performed OTC makula and said that it is fine.

My doctor could not explain me why this has happened, he said that this surgery should not have any impact on the vision. I would kindly ask you for any hint what could happened that cause the vision problem. What could be checked in such case in order to identify the real cause of the issue? Please, do you have such experience and could you say something about the treatment in this case and how long it could take?

Many thanks in advance.

I have contact ens almost 20 years,and high Myopia -11,5 at left and -11,0 at right.First wrong sign was that I have seen black longer "comma" at right eye and urgently gone to doctor,because a years ago he told me if I see something like that to come as sooon as possible,because he has seen that my retina is thin and that I have change of pigmentation at retina at both eyes.
So,I gone and he made lasik at right eye at pheriferial (12Uhr) but at three places.
Surgery dauert about 30 minutes,and my eye was iritired.Days after that I felt that I can't see so good at this eye as before surgery and still I see this black linie.
He asked to do one laser more,but I refused to wait to stabilised my eye.And I gone to other doctor and he didn't see any other rupture or place  and told me that I don't need more laser!
Yesterday this second doctor told that my vision is for 6 dioptry worse at right then at left eye .
On doctor said that I need laser more,and didn't want to speak with me cause my vision is worse,secon doctor said that is finish with laser and told me to come next week to control my vision again.
Tell me please if lasik retina has some risk for my vision?
i don't know if I must do more laser or not?How long must I wait?
I am in panic,please answer me!

Too little detail.  Get a second opinion.
