I had the surgery 12 days ago vision is awesome 20/20. No unusual sensitivity, extra glare or huge round halos. Some dry eye but drops help. The only big 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 the Dr said everything looked great.
