It's been about 7 weeks since the first and just over a month since the second. This was a general checkup to see how both are doing.
From my perspective, the distance vision has been excellent, but the near vision hasn't made much (if any) improvement. My mid vision (computer) is mediocre, but wearing glasses is easier on my eyes. I am supposed to do as much reading as possible without glasses (to force my eyes to try to focus), but that get annoying after a while.
Lately, while reading, I have noticed that there is some bluriness that seems to be in different areas. I am guessing that this is due to "posterior capsule opacification" - clouding of the back side of the lens capsule. This is a condition that is always anticipated after cataract surgery.
The eye doctor said that on my next visit, in a month, he will use a laser to remove part of the posterior capsule and this should clear that up.
