Restore Lens not working

I was told that if I wanted to be glasses free, that I should chose the Restor lens.  I had a Restor lens implanted in my left eye one week ago.   Also had astigmatism correction at the same time.   I can see at a distance, but with a haze. I cannot see the computer, or read a book, newspaper etc.   My doctor wants me to wait for four weeks to see if the healing eye corrects my vision.  What is your experience with that??

I have had a similare lens implant and I can say that my vision improved over a period of 6 weeks. I assume the eye is swollen from the operation and the lens is therefore further forward than it will be when the eye returns to its normal size.
Any problems with ghost images?
