Asked By:syyntax in Belleville, IL

I had PRK surgery a week ago. Recovery was going great, vision was very clear, then my wife accidentally elbowed me in the right eye. 3 hours later, my right eye is still very blurry. I went to urgent care and they did not see any scratches or anything wrong with my corneas. Will the blurriness go away? Do I have anything to worry about?
