1-week post PRK, I had -2 in both eyes, now my left is 30/70, right is 20/40, is this normal?

I'm from Lebanon, 30 year old urology resident, healthy, and I underwent PRK for myopia -2 in both eyes, 6 days ago exactly, 2 days the Dr. removed my contact lenses, and said good. My right eye is improving significantly and approaching almost 20/25, but my left eye is still blurred, almost 30/70, and when I look by my left eye through a tube that I construct by my left hand, I see 20/40. I am extremely worried, and wish did not do PRK, and need your help, did I lost my best corrected vision.
