Thank you for your detailed notes, SoftwareDeveloper. Wish I had found this site before I had my surgery.
Anyway, After choosing Symfony (non-toric) I'm 2 weeks post-op on left eye and 1 wk post-op for the right.
At my day-after checkups, distance in each eye was measured 20-20 with 1 incorrect letter in the bottom line. So, I'm very happy with that!
Reading the card with black print on white paper was about 20-25 and 20-30 on day 2, but I suspect it may be a bit less now, especially with the halos and glare on my phone. Should I expect continued improvement with my reading acuity? Mid-range using laptop arms length away, about 24 inches, is ok.
Also, last night I drove in the dark for the first time with my "new eyes." Quite a bit of halo, starburst and spider web looking things around lights. On day 2, each eye was blurry but didn't have this much halo. Reading the road signs was not as clear as I expected. Still a bit fuzzy around letter edges, especially with backlit signage (even if it was billboard sized.)
I requested Symfony thinking there wouldn't be so much halo and reading would be good. Hoping to improve for another month or so, as I've heard it really can take that long, but beginning to wonder.
Should I be concerned yet? Thanks for any feedback, it's much appreciated!
