Had lasik done two days ago, while I was sleeping I may have rubbed my eyes after I woke up the next morning my vision in my left eye seemed to be more blurry then it was the day before. I don’t feel any pain in my eyes but worried I may have messed something up.

Would the pain be noticeable if I dislocated a flap?
