Trauma Post Lasik From Pressure From Sleep Mask?

Pmgonza
I had Lasik (the non-surgical, laser) eye surgery overseas 5 weeks ago. I sleep with a dark sleep mask at night to avoid rubbing and provide darkness. Last night I used a sleep mask that was tighter than usual and woke up two hours later. I felt lots of pressure on my eyes and noticed that the sleep mask was digging into my lower eyelid on my left eye. I have no pain but my left eye is slightly blurry. I worry because my surgeon is so far away and I'm living in Europe but don't know what to do!
