From my experience it was hell of a whole week, specially the first 5 days. And every kind of light was aggressive for me. My eyesight took ~3 weeks to be able to read properly on screen without zooming 400%. I didn't freak out because my doctor told me that the healing process really depended on everyone's body. 2 years later I have absolutely not regrets from doing that surgery despite probably still always reminding myself as one of the worst week of my life during recovery.

I had a completely different experience.

First 30 or so hours were pretty inconvenient: dry eyes, bandage lens that would cause itching and general photophobia. The Doctor removed my bandage lens after less than 48 hours and the same day I resumed my normal life. I was still sensitive to light but I could read screens without issues at all.
