You can have some scratchy feelings and light sensitivity but if it's more than a minor irritation you need to be seen by your LASIK specialist.
Everyone experiences pain differently. Most people say that the eyes feel scratchy and raw while others speak of pain which is mild to moderate. The discomfort lasts two or three days in most cases.
