undercorrected
Not fixed enough
Undercorrected describes something that has been adjusted or fixed, but not enough.
The term appears in medicine, where undercorrected vision still needs stronger lenses, and in data analysis, where undercorrected statistics haven't fully accounted for confounding factors.
Her eyesight remained undercorrected after the surgery.
The opposite is overcorrected.
