What you are experiencing is one of the side effects of laser surgery. You should follow up your eye doctor with regards to your eye condition and he will give you prescription eye drops to prevent infection, inflammation and to prevent your eyes from drying. Blurry and hazy vision is also normal after a day of your surgery. But eventually, you will notice some improvements within a few days.

For now, it is very important to revisit your eye doctor for an evaluation.

Did they have to dock the laser to your eye for the procedure?
The laser caused me no pain for my cataract surgeries, but the suction from docking the laser irritated my eye for the 2nd surgery.

I am a patient who has had in-office laser for retinal tears and can speak only from my experience with pain. I easily tolerated my first laser treatment and drove myself home. A year later I had laser to treat a hole that had developed after a retinal detachment surgery. I remember that as surprisingly painful. Most recently (this year) I had laser on my other eye to repair a small detachment and tears, and because the surgeon intended to do everything possible to seal off the problem, I was given an injection of anesthetic in my eye before the laser. In other words, the surgeon anticipated that the laser could cause pain. I do have lattice but was treated with laser only when tears/holes appeared.
I hope by now your pain is gone!
