Yep, piece of cake. You won't be able to close the eye during surgery, it will be held open mechanically while you are asked to look right, left, look at the green light, etc.
Did they give you a prescription for Valium? You should be quite relaxed, no pain, just some mild pressures. After surgery you will go home, have lunch, and probably crash for the rest of the day.
I found the Duo-Shades-2 to be the perfect solution for sleeping, showering, after surgery. The eye shield and tape routine is a PITA. If your Dr does lasik they probably have them for sale.
