Have high cylindrical power after prk
I had my prk surgery 12 days ago and this is my before and after vision
Left: -4(sph)/-3.5(cyl)/170(ax)
Right: -4.5(sph)/-3.25(cyl)/180(ax)
Left: +0.25(sph)/-2(cyl)/159(ax)
Right: -0(sph)/-1.75(cyl)/8(ax)
I am worried that my cylindrical power has not come down significantly. Before surgery, I was told I would get 80-90% of my vision within 10 days. Does that mean my cylindrical power would not come down below 1/0.75 even after few months?

It may take few weeks for vision to be completely sharp,clear after prk.
PRK has more healing time as compared to LASIK.
Do regular follow up with operating surgeon.
