Thank you for all the responses. Just an update. It's been almost 2 months since the surgery. Went in for a check up few days ago and the doc said my eye looks good. He told me I'm still a little early to get new glasses but I already got new prescription and it brought me back down to 20/20.

The doc said in another month or so my eye sight could change again in a month or so and will need to get new ones again. Although I will admit, even with the new glasses on, my distance vision is still not as sharp as my non-operated eye. I believe it's 20/20 but it appears to have fizzy edge. I'm hoping it'll improve as the doc suggested.

Right now I'm still out of action as FAA required a 3 months waiting period. However, my AME said I still have my 3rd class active so I can go rent a 150 and buzz around for now. Let me say this though, this whole thing is no fun, AT ALL.
