Hello,
I had the "Lasik" surgery just over 2 years ago, and based on the following chart "Wavefront" should have similar recovery times to "Lasik".
http://accuvision.co.uk/eye/surgery-...-available.htm I had both eyes done on the same day at Optimax in Croydon.
I had the surgery at 4pm on the Friday afternoon, went home, took 2 sleeping pills and a painkiller and slept the initial discomfort off on the advice of my Dr.
Woke up Saturday and although exceptionally light sensitive there was definite clarity to my vision. I spent the day in the flat, curtains closed and just chilled.
Woke up the Sunday and the light sensitivity had subsided so i wandered round to the newsagents and got a paper, still need sunglasses but eyes had stopped watering when subjected to light. I then read the paper without the aid of glasses for the 1st time in 17 years. That was good. About mid afternoon I then felt confident enough to drive, so took the 10 minute drive to my mums, all was well.
I have then driven virtually everyday since.
10 days after my op was TA1 at Mallory and I did that with no issues at all and 10 days after that i rode from Biarritz to Andorra along the Pyrenees.
The only inconveniences were:
1. Having to wear eye shields in bed for 7 nights (to stop you rubbing your eyes)
2. Eye drops every few hours for 2 weeks.
3. Night vision was impaired for about a month while the halo'ing settled down, in that time I minimised night driving and didn't ride the bike at night.
4. For reasons beyond the surgeons control my right eye needed a minor tweak, that was taken care of last year and I am now discharged from all aftercare.
It was without a doubt one of the best things I have ever done, I would suggest you identify your surgeon by recommendation if possible as thats how i found mine.
Hope that answers your questions .... if you need anymore info u2u me for my mobile number.
