I had my PRK surgery 35 days ago,n' my niece accidentally poked my left eye really bad with her finger. I felt pain and redness inside my eye, and I did put my drops, I tried to visit my doctor but its closed and tmw is holiday too so he's not there!, I feel like the eye that got poked has the same vision but when I look at the lights I think it's a little blurry (only the lights). so what are the possibilities after 1 month(35days)? should I do any thing till i see my doctor? thank you!
