Hello
It seems from the history that you are having glaucoma for which you have undergone laser procedure and following it you are having acute raise of intraocular tension.
The foggy vision is because of corneal edema secondary to raised intraocular tension.
If the tension is not controlled it may result in damage to optic nerve causing loss of vision.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist at the earliest for reducing intraocular tension. The treatment should include oral and topical anti glaucoma drugs.
Thank you
