Mode and anyone else, in April 2013 (next month) I will be at the 1 year mark. Be advised that even at month 6, my eyes weren't "perfect" again. They were about 90% there. 9 month mark, you are 95-100% fully back to normal. For a good year I took the Vitamin C and being paranoid, put lubricating drops in multiple times a day. At the 9 month mark, I installed drops once in AM and once before bed and thats kinda what I still do. Probably not needed to be honest but I feel better doing it.

I took sick time/vacation time and just my personal opinion, wouldn't go out solo flying until past 30 day mark. You can drive (again my opinion) after 1 week but probably better to wait 2 weeks. My employer was aware of surgery and I was doing admin work/etc during some of the healing. Prior to surgery I called my AME and gave him a heads up of my plans and literally prior to surgery I filled out the PDF FAA forms and gave them to the doctor and said "before we proceed, these forms will be required by FAA after we are done, any issues/heartburn/etc with that." So basically both AME and Eye surgeon were on board with FAA requirements before the laser got turned on.
