Speak to the surgeon: Are you certain there should be a significant level of pain after the procedure? Was it prk that was performed? Do you know why pain medication was not allowed? I think speaking to the surgeon would be best.

Eye pain: Talk to the eye md. I believe he/she meant that no topical anesthetic eye drops. I'm sure it's ok to take an oral pain reliever. Make sure you are using the proper dosing frequency of your eye medications that were prescribed at the time of the surgery. Good luck.
