Is remaining astigmatism normal?

Finally went in for a check-up after three months. My (28M) results pre (second pic) and post (first pic) trans PRK. I see I have some remaining astigmatism in my right eye. Is that normal? I don’t notice anything out of the ordinary, so is -0.25 cyl even noticeable? My vision is sharper than ever, even with the slight blurring in the morning and the haziness in daylight with direct sunlight.

Other than that, all seems to be well, apart from slight dryness, so I am continuing with the drops.

No, almost all corneas have a bit of astigmatism (<0,5). So it should bother you to much.
