Moisture + warmth + darkness = a breeding ground for infections. At a minimum I'd make sure to take the dressing off and clean your eyes thoroughly each day.
That said, I think the idea is kind of retarded, myself. It's the kind of thing college film students do just so they can make a documentary of themselves doing it. I can only assume that you have no job, or you have one that you can take a week off from, because I don't imagine your boss would appreciate the philosophical value of the experiment. So what will you do during this week? Either you will greatly minimize your daily activities like a real blind person would, in which case the experience won't be that philosophically enlightening, just boring, or you will attempt to go about your normal daily routine, and probably get hit by a car.
