From what you have reported, I don't see anything of concern.  Having a small fiber particle under the flap that needs to irrigated out is not uncommon.  A good surgeon will notice it and get rid of it before it causes you problems later.  If this is done right after lasik is completed, then usually there will be delay in vision recovery.  But if this is done a few days after lasik, then the recovery clock restarts.  However, I would find this unlikely to affect your visual outcome.
