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.

That seems to be what I hear the most, lots and lots of drops.
My main concern is being able to go to drive on the track 8 days after having it done. I think it should be okay. Thanks

wow! where to start. i did touch the car today for the first time in weeks. pulling the shocks off to get them back to boygenius. one stubborn lower bolt is keeping that from being done. impact wrench isn't even budging it. here is what is left to do:
figure out alarm and remote entry wiring front sway bar rebleed brakes rear sway bar mounts to weld in then assembly kafer cup brace shock mount reinforcement e-brake cable ends shock solution, buy shocks and install all rear speaker cabinet passenger seat install inner door handle cover plates new oil cooler solution oh, and new engine install then there are several new websites i have lined up to work on new house projects two houses to take care of...still and another little website i will be taking care of soon day job that is running at 9,000rpm oh, and the family going to at least hit CYW in May and Heart of Dixie. hopefully one or both in the bug. that'll take me through the summer. |

I don't know about driving on the track in 8 days, the flap needs more time to reatatch. That is way you have to use drops, so you don't move the flaps.
As for regular sunglasses, I bought 10-15 pair of cool sunglasses after I had mine done.

Thomas, you are not the only one with that deficit. I was put on monetary restriction last week. Luckily I have funds commited already for the few items I need to make my bus run. Only run, not finish... but getting it running will be HUGE!
