I had it done also, about three years ago.
Recovery is a snap. Your eyes will feel a little scratchy when you leave but they advise to go home and nap. I did and when I got up, they were fine. You can see the minute you get up from the chair but a little blurry for an hour or so.
The only down side, if there is one, you have to keep your eyes well lubricated so there are drops, weeks of drops, weeks and weeks of drops. (I have dry eyes anyway, it was a problem).
Being able to wear regular sunglasses... priceless.
