Quite possibly this is an absolutely normal finding. It is nearly impossible for any surgeon to be so accurate in placing the implant within the eye and its focal point such that both eyes have exactly the same distance vision afterwards. Also, the outcome of the surgery with regards to your vision at a distance may be limited due to having astigmatism that is greater in one eye versus the other.... this portion of your vision (astigmatism) is not corrected with the standard lens implant that is provided/paid for by your medical insurance. In addition, it is rather common for the second eye surgery to have a more pleasing outcome (better distance vision), for the fact that the surgeon or whomever is seeing you for your post-operative care can modify the outcome of the second eye surgery by seeing how the first eye healed and making the appropriate adjustments. Hope that helped!

And as always, if you need a second opinion, we are here...
