Best answer I can give is “not much.” Treatments like myotic eye drops and photochromic lenses were entirely ineffective. I DO think there has been a little neuroadaptation over these 3 years since surgery, but it appears it is something I’ll just have to live with UNLESS I decide to pursue a risky lens exchange surgery.

On the positive side, you are only 2 weeks post surgery. In what I’ve read, positive dysphotopsia dissipates or goes away for many/most in the weeks and months following surgery. Make sure to “call out” your surgeon to specifically diagnose your problem and not blow it off. Hang in there and good luck!
