LAL, My First 24 Hrs.

Actually, it's closer to 17 hours. Still a bit dilated so there is impact from that to my vision. I know it's early yet, but it appears that I'm even more farsighted than i was. I was a +3.25 sphere and -2.5 cyl going in, and I knew I had something like -1.5 or so in the lens so expected astigmatism until the first adjustment. What's surprising (and maybe a bit concerning) is that my glasses are still giving me better distance vision than I have without them. But everything is still blurry and a bit foggy.

I'm hoping the eye will settle down over the next week. Anyone end up with more hyperopia than they started? I'd hate for a refractive surprise to be out of the range of adjust-ability of LALs.

EDIT - I should also include that I have prior RK and PRK, so it appears I'm a challenge to calculate lens power for

Edit 2. I guess I do have a question for the sub. Has anyone see a LAL choice that was so far off that it couldn't be corrected? My understanding is that there are only two diopters of sphere and 2 of cylinder. What happens if you end up 3 diopters of sphere off?

I am a part time college teacher in retirement (state of Florida). The earnings are SS exempt supposedly, but I've never tested that since it's not a lot of money. If I was to go to full time (~$50K a year), any idea if that would impact my SS benefits? I'm 63.
