2 month update: my vision has more or less stabilized
WORTH IT
It has been 2 months since my surgery and I am happy to report that my vision has more or less stabilized.
Double vision is long gone. Star-bursting at night has mostly disappeared. The long-distance night-time acuity of the surgical eye is now comparable to that of the healthy eye.
What helped the most in stabilizing it after the first month was that I started using Systane Night-time dry eye relief gel at night. This coincided with an amazingly quick improvement in vision stability! I must have had severe dry eyes at night.

3 week update: double vision is mostly gone, still not perfect clear vision but I can now read!
The double vision is mostly gone in my eye. While the vision is not always perfectly clear at times I can now consistently read with this eye and I am overall happy with the surgery!
My surgery was fully covered by insurance since double vision is not a cosmetic surgery. Based on the insurance claim documents that I received the total charge was:
Doctor: $3000
Anesthesiologist (sedation): $600
Hospital (surgery + recovery rooms + supplies + pharmacy): $3400
Next-day post-surgery follow up: $300
---
Total: ~$7300
Since insurance had its own negotiated rates they paid about half of that. And I didn't have to pay anything at all. Go figure!

Bandage contact lens removed
The bandage contact lens was removed yesterday (6 days after surgery) and my vision is becoming more sharp since then. I would also describe it that after a few hours it gets more comfortable without the lens than it was with the lens.
