RETINA RELATED PROBLEM

Hi , Im a medical student in final yr, I have a problem , from last one month i started to have flashes in my left eye, i went to see my doctor & he said I have small flat holes but he advised me to have 360 degrees prophyalactic argon laser. So on 1st of september,I had laser done, my flashes are gone but new problem emerged that, after the laser, my vision is still blurry as Almost 40 hrs have been passed, I can read words in LE accurately but they are slightely blurred as compared to my RIGHT HEALTHY EYE, I was worried about damage to fovea Or cornea by laser . Please reply and tell me what are the symptoms of damage to fovea other than blurring of reading words , Plus for how many more days my blurred vision will persist, & i should consult my doctor again if blurring persist for how many days ?? Is it normal to have blurred vision after 40 hrs of 360 degrees laser. Plus I have a problem , whenever I go out in the sunlight on in bright light, I feel CLOUD/BLURRING in lateral middle portion & in room light , i am not even aware of it.The Blurring of words which i discussed earlier are in central vision , else central vision is almost normal.Please clarify & you can clarify in medical terms & knowledge as I am medical student & i will understand even if you use technical language.Thanks , Waiting for your reply as worried for blurring
