Had PRK a week ago and got the bandage contacts taken out 2 days ago. Doctor said eyes are healing fine but still has some small hazing which will eventually go away. Got woken up at 4am this morning feeling like theres something in my eye, very teary and difficult to open. Now it seems like my left eye is more blurry (it was initially clearer than right), and it still randomly has that stinging sensation and back to being light sensitive. Is this normal healing process? What should I do?
