Rainbow bursts around lights after Lasik surgery Is this normal? Will it go away?

I’m having Rainbow prisms or bursts around lights after lasik surgery. Is this normal? Do they go away? I had the surgery a week ago vision is awesome 20/20. No sensitivity,glare or huge round halos. Some dry eye but drops help. The only issue is the rainbow bursts around lights. Depending on angle i'm looking it is sometimes worse than other times.
I went for one week follow up today. Dr said everything looked great and that rainbows should go away but could be a few months. Dr. said since vision good and eyes healing I don’t need to come back to them for a year. He did say if I have any problems to call back and come back sooner. He said to follow up with optometrist for regular visits.
Has anyone experienced this? Did this go away?
The photo is an example of what i am seeing most times its only the rainbow lines closest to light, not multiple.

Often this is normal. Can take 3-6 months to clear.  It does clear 95+% of the time
Thank you for the reply.
Many posts like yours.  Understand your concern.
I sincerely appreciate, you  hear and read about the halos but not much about these rainbows.
