Post Cataract Surgery results?

I had cataract surgery 4 weeks ago, and so far, so good. According to the ophthalmologist 3 weeks ago, I had 20/30 vision (with a toric lens), and it's improved bit by bit since then, though distant things are not crisp/clear just yet. Before surgery, my vision was very very near sighted, with a diopter of -9.0. What I want to know if anyone who has had this bad a case of myopia has attained 20/20 vision or if you have had to wear corrective lenses later on. I have worn gles since I was a small child (I'm now in my 50s), and was hoping I could do without any corrective lenses now. Maybe I'm expecting too much too soon?
