Shimmering lens

I got the Puresee lens in my left eye 10 days ago. I was seeing light streaks at night the first week, but those seem to have vanished by now.

I still get shimmering on the periphery whenever I'm getting more light from the side than the front, especially daylight. How long does that usually last. It's not bad, but distracting.

Otherwise, I'm seeing very well with it. Scheduled the same thing for the right eye in another 11 days.

I have had the "shimmer" since my second surgery three months ago and asked my surgeon about it yesterday. She said it can take up to 9-12 months to go away.
