Post-op LASIK condition

It has been about 17 days since I had LASIK surgery.  It was performed at TLC, and I got the "bladeless custom lasik" procedure.

I'm still having trouble with glare/halos/starbursts around light sources.  I know the length of this pheonomenon varies from patient to patient, but at what point should I start worrying that the condition may be permanent in my case?

My vision is pretty good (I saw the "20/15" line at the doctor's office).  Nonetheless, I have found that if I apply a slight bit of pressure (pushing in from the bottom or side) to my right eye, then it sharpens my vision even more.  I have been unable to find any mention of this kind of thing on the internet, and my next visit to the doctor isn't until the 26th.  Is this something that might be due to corneal swelling that hasn't gone away yet, or did they just not get it corrected as well as the left eye?  My left eye is perfect, and interestingly enough it had a stronger prescription than my right eye did.  I was nearsighted with a small condition of astigmatism, by the way.

I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on these questions/concerns.  Thank you in advance.
