My right eye has seemed dryer than my left, and I forgot to put drops in before before bed the night I rubbed my eye for the first time since surgery. I put drops in immediately after waking up. The eye feels sore.

It is not uncommon for dryness to be present during LASIK healing. Since Lotemax and Xiidra helped the vision and your doctor states there is no leftover prescription, most likely dryness is causing blur. Keep up with the dry eye treatments that were recommended to you. You can also try Omeg...
I recommend visiting your LASIK doctor for a check up. Sometimes blur can be caused by dryness or regression. Your doctor should check your eye health and prescription. If a prescription makes your vision significantly sharper, then they may suggest a touch up if it is safe.
LASIK does not cause loss of eyelashes. Sometimes, the medications used after LASIK are very thick and may clump around the lash line. Lashes may be removed when trying to clean this region and rubbing too aggressively. I recommend being more careful and blotting gently with artificial tears.
