3 days after Laser Eye surgery I rubbed my eyes hard in my sleep

ladybuggsMar 16, 2014
I had my surgery Thursday morning and was given protective sleep goggles..I have been so very carefull yet early hours this morning (Sunday) I woke myself up rubbing my eyes..I had in my sleep pushed my goggles up my head. I replaced them and went back to sleep but when I woke up a few hours later I looked in the mirror and saw lots of eyelashes on my face so I must have rubbed pretty hard...My vision seems a little blurry and my eyes feel sore. It's Sunday and the optitions are closed.
