Hello All,

I had Epi-On CXL performed about 5 weeks ago (left eye only). Since the procedure I have been very conscious to not touch or rub my eyes. The doctor provided me with a plastic eye shield to wear the first few days to protect my eye (I have to put a few pieces of tape on it and stick it to my face, not very comfy). 

After two weeks or so I became more lax and stopped wearing the shield at night. Since then, during several instances I've had strange dreams about rubbing my eyes while asleep and on one occasion I woke up in the process of rubbing my right eye. This is obviously all in my subconscious because I have no control over my movements. 

Does anyone else have this problem?? It's extremely frustrating because it's a bit outside of my control. The only thing I can think to do is keep taping the plastic shield to my face at night, but that only protects one eye. I haven't tried gloves yet but I think I would just remove them in my sleep.

Any advice or ideas??

Thanks!
