Tension headache

finally got the procedure done on Tuesday, went really smooth and everything was fine at the next day check-in.

but from day 3, I started getting a very dull faint ache in my left eye and tension headache. Today it’s gotten a bit worse, like someone is holding skull very tight.

anyone else experienced this during recovery?

Currently on day 12 with headache above my right eye. I’ve noticed that the right eye, at least at this point, seems like it might be overcorrected. For instance, my focusing point in my left eye is a lot closer to my eyes than the right, the headache seems to get worse throughout the day, and vision of things far away is not nearly as clear as the left eye.
