One needs to do a complete evaluation of cornea as well as retina to comment on decrease of vision..even one needs to know what was the pre operated best corrected visual acuity..if prk was done for high refractive error above -5 mild haze can presist for a longer time then usual..
Next Steps

Inadequate history .

Even 6/9 is good enough for all your major day today activities of work (unless your Job profile requires 6/6 which is basically for forces and locomotion). so dont worry if there is no ocular symptom
Next Steps
why is has not come to 6/6 may be because of a lot of factors

Half of the planet's population who dont wear glasses may not be 6/6 in both eyes and they are very comfortable without any ocular complaints.. So nothing majorly to worry as such
