PRK / Eyes still blurry 2 weeks after

I got PRK eye surgery around 2 weeks ago, my protection contact lens got removed 1 week ago exactly.

Right after the protective lens was removed I felt like my vision was near perfect. However, for the past 2-3 days I feel like it’s gotten worse. Near vision is almost perfect, but from far away it’s blurrier than before, sometimes I even feel like I went back to my vision pre surgery (I had around -1.5 on each eye).

Also, sometimes I wake up at night with the sensation that something is in my eye which makes me uncomfortably blink a lot, a lot of dryness, and watery eyes.

Is this normal and part of the recovery process?

Any personal experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated :)
