Post-vitrectomy diplopia

I had a retinal detachment about 6 months ago where a vitrectomy surgery was done. However after SIX month of resting I am still experiencing abnormal vision in the left eye: (i) image is significantly (30%) smaller and displaced thus causing double vision (diplopia). (ii) lines are wavy and distorted (straight lines are broken and wavy) (iii) image is slanted at approx.. 10 degrees (suspected vertical and horizontal diplopia) (iv) vision is “come-and-go” similar macular degeneration (can see object but suddenly disappears) I have high myopia and underwent LASIK 3 years ago. Is there any chance for the diplopia to heal and is there any particular things I can do to relieve the disability?
