PRK recovery - noticing more severe dry eye

Hello, Hoping someone can help me figure this out. I'm 13 weeks post op for a PRK enhancement for astigmatism correction after IOL 6 months ago. There has been very slow progression in my vision and I'm now noticing more severe dry eye. I'm using a ton of lubricating drops and they help temporarily. What's really strange is that right after I use the drops, my vision is crystal clear for a few seconds and then goes back to being blurry. Is this because the drops are evaporating? Some days are really blurry and then once in awhile I'll have a clearer day. I'm wondering if my blurriness is mostly caused by the dry eye and slow healing process VS. a problem with the procedure. 

Thoughts and any comparison stories are much appreciated!
