I had prk surgery 11 days ago. It was okay until day 9, two days after the contact removal, my right started to really hurt and I could barley open it. I work 12 hour shifts and commute a total of 2 hours for my job. Now on day 11 my right eye is much worse, it is in constant pain, and watering extremely.
