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.

Have had allergic conjunctivitis for almost a month now?

I woke up about a month ago with red, crusted shut eyes. I immediately went to the doctor and they told me bacterial pink eye so they gave me eye drops for that. I finished the antibiotic, ceased contact lenses and eye makeup, and my eyes were NOT crusting anymore but still red. I went back to the doctor because they were burning and irritated. They then told me allergic conjunctivitis, which isn't completely surprising because I've always suffered from awful allergies. They prescribed me Pazeo and my eyes are a little less red, but it's still there. I'm starting to become impatient and wondering if my eyes are ever going to return to normal because it's been a month. Can I possibly start wearing makeup again? Or will I recontaminate?

Why do my new glasses feel so different? Can going from progressives to regular lenses make everything look warped and far away?

I just new glasses for the first time in four years. My prescription apparently only changed slightly in the past four years. My old prescription was right eye -6.50 sphere and no cylinder/axis, and my left eye -5.25 sphere with -1.25 cylinder and 170 axis. They were also progressive lenses with a +1.00 add.
I went to a new doctor and my prescription stayed the same except my left eye went from -5.25 to -5.00. The other numbers are the same as my last prescription. Is -5.00 better or worse than -5.25? But also these new lenses aren't progressives, they are just regular lenses. Can that make a huge difference? I'm not sure why this doctor didn't make them progressives. But with these new lenses, everything looks really off. Everything looks a lot farther away and much smaller, and on the outside edges everything looks warped. Things farther away do look a little bit sharper, but actually closer things seem to be the tiniest bit blurrier, especially text, I think because it looks smaller. And the ground looks farther away, sometimes the ground in front of me, especially sidewalks, look like they have a small hill/upright bump on them directly in front of me. Is this all because they aren't progressives? They're giving me a headache and I just can't seem to adjust to the new lenses. Is that small 0.25 difference in my prescription enough to disorient me this much? I've had glasses almost my whole like but I don't ever remember adjusting to new ones feeling this off.

Want to get prescription halloween/color contact lenses but can't find my strength?

My right eye is +5.00 strength and the highest I can find is +4.00. Does anyone know where I can find my strength? If not, I might try the 4.00. Thanks!
