Anything wrong?: First, make sure the pain is normal and nothing is wrong - check with your surgeon. In our experience, cool compresses, acetominophen and rest are the best remedies. If these don't work be sure to be checked out.

Depends: Usually it's corneal discomfort, i.e. Abrasion, dry eye, loose suture, etc. Could try oral pain meds, topical nsaids, tears/ointments, bandage lens, etc.
