My DH just had the laser wave-technology done two weeks ago. In less than a week, they told him he was healed, to stop with the medicated drops and that he could skip the sleeping goggles.

He asked about cycling right away (both doctors at this clinic were also cyclists) and they said he'd be fine after 24 hours if he wore good sunglasses. He did and he was fine. Surgery on Friday, first 40 mile ride on Sunday (mowed lawn on Saturday).

All smooth sailing!

Edited to add: I got to watch the surgery and it was amazing!
