Haha Jon don't feel bad for laughing, it's really quite funny. The first morning I woke up really early and freaked out for a couple of hours until I finally got my Mum (who is a nurse) to get it open for me. The second morning I just got annoyed at it and sort of wrenched it open.
Nah,
she just took a scapel Terminator-style and sliced it open again... 

Not quite that extreme, but that scene did pop into my head.
It seems to be getting better as I've been having a few eye baths with sterilized water, but I'll see how I go tomorrow morning. I might make it three days in a row with a sealed eye, it sure is a strange feeling.
