should I be worried I accidentally poked my eye with the eyedropper 3 days after PRK?

Asked By:alyshanicole123 in Clackamas, OR

I had PRK 3 days ago. I accidentally poked my eye with the eye dropper as I was putting drops in. Should I be worried? It was very painful at first but after a few minutes the pain went away. I feel like I’m having slightly blurrier vision in that eye but it’s also watering like crazy. Please help

Is it possible that my cylinders will disappear after PRK?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

Unfortuntately,  we can't enlarge the photo you posted but if you are struggling I would see the surgeon again and see what the next step is. You man not need an enhancement but if you do, a little more time should pass by.

Can I wear glasses while healing from PRK?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

If you have a small remnant prescription after the surgery you could wear glasses to help.Ask you surgeon to be sure as we don't have all the details. He/She will have the last Rx.The Rx will likely vary a little over the next few months as you get to your final Rx.

Did not follow treatment regime after PRK, stopped steroids too soon, can I start using them again?
Ahad Mahootchi, MD says:

I am surprised you didn't have follow up in this country. Maybe you did and didn't keep the appointment?You shouldn't restart the steroid without physician supervision.Corneal haze and residual prescription are risks of not getting post op visits with PRK.
