thax and i believe you are right about the imbalance of the implant eye and the one to be done in 2 weeks. vision outside has gotten better this past week but indoors not much improvement. i have noticed though that if i filter the light with and eyepatch i see fairly well.sounds like i still got glare issues.

Talk to your surgeon about your concerns.  You could have corneal edema or excessive inflammation or other problems, or just normal healing.  Usually things will improve but not always.

Your vision with both eyes may be imbalanced after you get your first eye done.  This may be causing the problems with your second eye.  Talk to your surgeon about it.

if your eye is still dilated it might be the cause of the glare and blurring. Some Crystalens patients receive extra medication for the dilation, it keeps your eye muscles fixed while your eye heals. Talk to your surgeon and find out what kind of eye drops he has prescribed for you.
