3 days post of and still can't see at a distance or upclose

[rhkindt]

Chrystalens done on one eye Monday and then the next eye will be done next Monday. I have to put in a contact lens in the eye waiting for surgery just so i can't get around my house. My vision has not improved since my first post op eye exam, it is really frustrationing to try and look through the bottom of a glass bottle with one eye and a telescope with the other. I have administered all my meds as instructed but I am worried about putting out all of this money and then still have to where glasses which wasn't what I understood.
Anyone have any experience with Chrystalens? Maybe I just need to be more patient.
Thank-you, and PS I can't return to work becuase I teach clinician's how to document on laptops and I can't even focus on what I am supposed to be demonstrating.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated,
Robbi

I had one Crystalens in right eye 1 month ago and still wear a contact in left eye. My first 3-4 days post op were a little uncomfortable, the distance vision was blurry at first, my eye was dilated with atropine so I had lots of glare, fuzziness, discomfort from bright light, etc. I didn't drive until 6 days after surgery. By now my distance vision is excellent, the lens is working at all distances except fine print, I still have some adjustment issues with my contact lens eye but you will not have this once you have two Crystalens eyes. But there is a definite adjustment period with Crystalens.
