    Hi Jacky, give your eye a chance to recover.  I was told 6 weeks when I had mine done several years ago.

      Did they suggest lubricating eye drops?  Sometimes called Artificial Tears, you may find them helpful, you can buy them otc or get them from your GP.  Preservative free are the best option because some people react to the preservatives.  My Ophthalmologist prescribed Hyabak for me recently.
