Brief Answer:
Unrelated to LASIK

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I do not think LASIK procedure per se can cause such symptoms post one month of the procedure. However we need to check if the error was overcorrected or undercorrected. So get the refractory error check done by the doctor. Till then you can take simple paracetmol for the pain that occurs.

Hope this helps.
