By the 3rd week post surgery, no problems of any kind.

It sounds like you had the cataract and laser surgery at the same time.

Two years ago, the opthalmologist told me there are issues when you need a second lasik surgery after you have already had laser and cataract surgery. He said the second laser surgery is very painful and not covered by insurance. My 1st insurance was not painful at all and that was a long time ago.
