It is possible that the correction wasn't 100% and you may need an enhancement. I'm 6 weeeks out and my eyes are still changing though they seem to be getting slightly better recently. I did get glasses with which I can see perfectly (better than before the surgery) so I know they just missed the mark a bit. It happens.
If you are having contrast issues, which I was, you might need glasses. It's very unlikely that you zapped you eyes for ever. I would go to the optometrist so that you can see if you see well with a correction. Get a cheap pair to hold you over until you can get an "enhancement". It made all the difference to me. At least you'll know that you can see.
You are probably fine. It really can take 6 months to settle.

They missed a mark? Are we talking about zapping on some machine or human eyes and life, there should not bi missable anything considering the way serious procedure is presented and its been done for 20 year, nothing should be missed. Problem is, reality is far from marketing and all superior machines with ultra super reading etc. And no, eyes do not settle for 6 months, that is one trick of theirs, they say 6 months because they want your brain to adjust to new vision, problem is if vision is so bad, you can only adjust to it by blowing your brains our or having good psychatrist.

Actually, it can take that long, at least according to a good friend of mine who is an eye surgeon. I'm six weeks out and they are still changing though not much any more.
When I say they "missed the mark", that has to do with the fact that everyone's cornea reacts differently to the laser. Every laser clinic will tell you there is a 5-15% chance they won't hit it perfectly. That's why there are some doctors now who do the procedure in two steps. After the first half, they know how your cornea reacts and then they perform the second half adjusting for how the particular patient's cornea reacts.
I think where many clinics are negligent is that they don't tell you all the other possible side effects that you might have permanently (floaters, dry eyes) and that they don't really inform you that the lasik flap never really fully heals.
However, as far as contrast is concerned, I had contrast issues at first too, which is not uncommon, but they went away as soon as I got glasses to correct the slight farsightedness that I now have.

I had Lasik done over a year ago and still have very dry eyes. It's not a minor side effect as they say. your eyes always feel tired even though you aren't. They burn, they scratch, and they hurt. When people think dry eyes aren't a big deal and some OTC drops can fix it, they are wrong. Try holding your eyes open for longer than 7 secs. That's what it feels like for me most of the day and I blink constantly. I really hope this isn't permanent, because the last year has been the hardest year I've had to endure.
