With a toric IOL the vision 2-3 weeks post operative is usually stable. Some people can read in good light especiallly if they have a small amount of residual myopia.
Yes the imbalance usually goes away when second eye done.
DIscuss with your surgeon leaving the other intentionally myopic about -1.00 to -1.25 to be sure have intermediate vision. If both eyes are 0.00 not likely you'll be able to read in good light, use computer or see to shop. That plan is "mini-monovision distance bias" Search that term and read about.

Thanks JCH
When I had asked my Surgon for modified vision, he told me you may loose depth, so it my be better to set both eyes at distance( both Toric)
However if I have both eye at distance, will I be able to see at Near ? as right now, I cannot see Dash Board writing while driving car, but I can clearly see the distance while driving.
Should I be expecting better Near vision in 2-3 weeks, so that I do not need to have reader glasses all the time, as currently having difficult time, reading the shopping label
-Thanks,
We use mini-monovision all the time in our practice with great results; plus as I said it's widefly discussed in this forum and you can use search feature and archives to read more. "Distance" vision is 20 feet away or more. So if you were 20/20 without glasses in each eye after surgery with 0.00 refractive error you could not read, shop, see computer, dashboard of car or television sports scores without progressive bifocals.
Consider getting a second opinion from a different surgeon about leaving the second eye about -1.25 myopic
