IC-8 lens surgery, blurry vision

I recently had RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) in my right eye. It has been 4 days since my surgery and my vision has gotten worse. Everything is hazy or blurry...Almost like you are looking through steam". Night vision is horrible as well. Any and all lights ( street lights, brake lights, headlights) I can see the "main" light, but there is a rectangle shape of light around it too. Street signs when I am driving at night, and at a distance, I see the "main" sign and then 3 or 4 of that same sign, around the main sign...and as I get closer to the sign while driving, the "extra" signs slowly converge back into the main sign. This is so strange to me and doesn't seem right. I take my medicated drops like "clock work" and use additional drops to keep my eye lubricated... Anyone have similar story?

Note my surgery wasn't due to Cataract at all, but was the same exact surgery.

    Sounds like image conflict between the IOL eye and the natural lens eye. Let your doctor know about it and the blurriness.
