Why vision recovery takes 2 weeks?

Why vision recovery takes 2 weeks?

Hello,

A true question from medical prespective:

I saw some drawing on the internet showing the shape of the human eye
and some ilustrations of a light ray when touches the reticulum and till reaches the conrea.

I saw how PRK is supposed to correct the position where the light ray  on the cornea.
My question is: if Lasek already has corrected the light ray destination on the cornea -
Why do doctors say it takes about 2 weeks till vision is stable?
I mean- does the eye shape changes during this time so the light changes its destination?
