Why do my eyes hurt after LASIK?

I had LASIK on 6-20-18. Everything started out great but this past month things have taken a turn for the worse. My eyes are in pain all the time and it feels like outward bulging burning pressure on them sometimes. The worst symptom I have is it feels like they're strained all the time like you're looking through a really high prescription lens that you can't take off.

When I put on my old glasses or contacts it relieves the strain for some reason. I told the place where I had my LASIK done at that my eyes feel over stimulated since day one of the surgery. They didn't say anything.

I went to my local clinic and he prescribed me "Flourometholone" for the pain which has helped a lot.

I just need to get rid of this strain feeling that I have all the time.

I'm thinking of just ordering some low power contacts and wearing them all the time to relieve this strain pain that's very negatively effecting my quality of life.
