Rainbow glare is hopefully getting less common with refinements in Femto flap creation. It still can happen but usually gets better over time.But you should report the problem to the surgeon and have him/her take a look as interface inflammation can also mimic the the problem. Better to catch it early.

Having glare and halos a few weeks to a few months is not that uncommon but it normally tends to fade away after a few months and may take up to a year to completely go away. In very rare cases some patients may benefit from anti glare coated glasses that they wear at night time while driving. These glasses can be found online like amazon for $20.
You also may want to check with your surgeon to see if you were under or over corrected?
