I had my PRK procedure about 1 month ago and I still see very blurry. I wanted to know if I could wear glasses while I'm waiting for my vision to clear up or will that affect the recovery process?

Glasses may or may not help your vision at this point in the recovery process. They would only help you see better if you still had some residual prescription (you can ask your doctor). Wearing glasses (if they would help) would not hinder your healing process. Keep in mind, vision after PRK can take a while to stabilize and get clear and the healing process is much more variable than LASIK.
