Lens replacement options, how ir works

I'm super unhappy with the outcome, doctor was gaslighting and giving wildly different recommendations from one visit to the next and argued my final choice "was a mistake" day of surgery, but she was willing to cancel altogether and reschedule as I'm being prepped for it.

I wanted either both set for far or both near (have Eyehance edof). I explained to her that very clear and sharp vision was the most important thing to mean no matter what, even if I wore glasses.

Now here we are with one eye set to ntermediate and one to distance with about a one diopter difference and I am miserable. Just got my glasses in today and it's making me feel like I'm carsick and if I turn my head a smidge I can no longer read and the peripheral vision is awful. Exactly where I didn't want to be. I would have much rather had a simple prescription where the whole lens fixed my vision. Now I'm stuck in some progressive lens that I hate and my right eye is still a little blurry regardless. (I'm a couple months out on the last surgery).

Does anyone have experience with having a lens replaced and how did insurance handle it if at all? Would I be on the hook for the entire amount or does it depend on how they code it? How do they determine when it's "medically necessary". It's technically 20/20 as I can read an eye chart, but it's not in real life because I still can't make out the details on a bird 40-yards out. (Photographer). I'm just so heartbroken over the outcome and wished I would have pushed, but she had great reviews and she was the "expert".

I do have some of stigmatism and I had the limbic cuts done on my worst eye (right, intermediate). I'm wondering if I can have that one redone for distance to match the other.

How do doctors assign stage?

ER doc listed Stage 1, does this seem right? I've had blood in my urine (microscopic) for a couple of years. I have a 5cm simple cyst on right kidney and smaller ones on the other. Having a lot of swelling on right side when waking, not sure if it's related.
