Flying following Lasik?

Okay, I had Lasik done today. I'm flying on Tuesday. The doctor assures me it'll be no problem.

Has anyone traveled within the first few days post-Lasik? Any issues with pressured cabins if so?

I'm almost paranoid about just taking a carry-on, as I'll be taking a dozen or so of those Refresh Plus eyedrops in my Freedom Bag, along with three prescription eye drops. They're all well under 3 ounces and they should all fit, but I'm worried that they'll freak out about the Refresh Plus. They're preservative-free so they're individually packaged, in tiny tube-like things. Plus they're relatively expensive, so I don't relish having to pitch them out and buy them anew at my destination. Plus, I'll need to apply them on the plane, probably.

There shouldn't be a problem, they seem well under allowance. I'm just paranoid because they're a bunch of little capsules that all look the same, and even TSA isn't familiar with them they might follow the standard "if in doubt, throw it out" policy.
