But I'm afraid permanent loss of contast sensitivity is a potential side affect of Lasik surgery. You may still have some corneal haze, which could resolve, and should be checked for infiltating epithelial cells. But if the loss is down to aberrations from the corneal surface, a resolution may not be easy to achieve, and further surgery should be approached with caution.
