One final update. I had my follow-up today. I have 20/15 in my left eye (Hooray!) and 20/20 in the right. I have no night vision problems. (Hooray!). I have suffered a small loss of vision as far as reading goes. My eyesight was exceptional in this area and now, especially early in the day, I have to keep a book or magazine a little further from my eyes to focus properly. I have some minor dry eye irritation, but I will be done with prescription eye drops by Wednesday.
