You really need to ask your surgeon about recovery times, and then decide whether you want to take his (or her) advice. :twisted:

I had Intacs in my Right eye November 2005, Initially i was signed off for a week but then an additional two weeks, some people i have spoke with have had longer than that and then some have had just one week so it just depends on the person :? .
The procedure is not painful just uncomfortable.
Best of luck with yours and let us know how you got on.

The procedure for me was nothing. I could've quite easily been back at work that same day!

I had no pain, issues with light sensitivity or anything...

I think you're being realistic with what you are expecting. Of course it's all individual though.

My sight was no different post-op, but as long as you can see fine with the other eye then I don't anticipate you'll have any problems returning to work.
