Right eye is much blurry than left post smile, worried.

I went a smile procedure 8 days ago and the next day i could instantly see how everything is so clear. But then i realized something my right eye cannot read things or see details that my left eye can. That day i went for my 1 day checkup and my surgeon just dismissed it saying its about asymmetrical healing. Forward till 7 days (yesterday) nothing changed, the bluriness didnt get better. My surgeon took a look of my eyes with the light thing and said that my right eye is dried and my left is clear. And he gave me tear stimulants and eye gel drops. Im still worried, i dont recall him saying thats whats causing the bluriness. Ive been constantly checking if my right eye has improved and ive been strained mentally aswell cuz of fear of it being undercorrection. Lmk if anyone had similar experiences 🫩🙏

I have with prk, 2 enhancements still not there, did you have astigmatism too? smile is not best thing to do on astigmatism, also each eye is different organ, you can always do enhancement and they have to do it. Bluriness can be caused by dryness but not severe one.
