Organic matter underneath flap

Hi everyone, I am writing to see if you have knowledge or previous experience on my situation.

I had a LASIK enhancement surgery in my dominant ​eye on May 1. The surgery was to correct a refractive surprise from a cataract surgery. In the 1-week post op appointment, the ​optometrist found "organic matters" underneath the flap. She is referring me back to the ophthalmologist. I have yet to meet with the ophthalmologist.

My questions are Is this serious? Is it common? What happened to contribute to this situation? Did I do something wrong during the one week? What can i do to avoid this if the surgeon decided to reopen the flap to clean the matters?
