I fly with one pack opened, and all the other packs sealed. I've never been questioned about it at all.
By the way, my Lasik was three months ago and the first flight was within a month of the procedure.
All very sound advice in the thread. I use refresh plus at home, but I'll echo that I use TheraTears for anticipated dehydration/dryness. They are terrific. Try and reduce booze/caffeine and boost water. It really does help. Also, be sure and carry your sunglasses as your eyes will be sensitive and it's just safer this way. Above all eye drops in your pocket. Do not give the TSA any possibility of taking your eye drops.
If you are on prednisone or antibiotic drops, ask your doctor for an additional sample bottle of each. This way you are sure to have a spare in any emergency. Enjoy your new vision!
