Coping with temporary sight imbalance after cataract surgery

You are worrying unnecessarily. I had macular hole surgery in one eye restricting my vision. Then a cataract removed in other. Like another world afterwards. You'll be fine.

I got three pairs of temporary glasses with the recommended prescription from Amazon. £7 and arrived the next day. Brilliant. They did me until my other eye was fine. DH removed a lens from my old glasses but it didn't really work.
Yes re seeing blue. It was really striking.

None of my clothes looked different colours EEjit well nothing had a colour change at all
Never heard of that happening

When I'm at work with people we get on great and I'm a bit of a joker but when anyone suggests a night out together I can't go cus I'm nervous and shy. I don't get it

Sorry wrong conversation

Lots of people talk about the increased 'blueness'. I was surprised to experience it but I liked it!

My husband had his done a year or two ago. He’d been very short sighted since he was a child. He had thinned lenses in his glasses and they still looked like milk bottle bottoms.
We went to our regular optician the first morning after the first op and had one lens removed. It didn’t cost us anything. We could have had plain glass put in but the optician said it probably wasn’t worth it- DH would definitely agree.
Within days he could see with the “new” eye without glasses. Three days the second op he understood why I keep losing my specs - he was able to get around easily without them, just needed a low prescription lens for reading.
You do need to wear sunglasses for a while after the operation, the new lenses do make the daylight seem exceedingly bright until things heal and adjust.
He says he wishes he’d done it sooner. It was so easy and painless. Healing is very quick. Surprisingly so.

Mine were both done on the same day. No problem.

They just re-scrubbed up between eyes - job done!

I had this problem and wore an eye patch over yhe operated lens in my glasses, so I was using the same prescription with the unoperated eye. Worked a treat.

Had mine done this time last year - two weeks between eyes. I just took one lens out of my varifocals once the first eye had been done, and it was fine. It was worse once both eyes were done, as I couldn't read anything until I'd had my eye test and new glasses... However, as my distance sight was excellent (I was passed fit to drive three days after the second op) I just bought a nice big magnifying glass to use when reading letters, menus etc and did my Sherlock Holmes impression...😄

Seriously really cheap temporary reading glasses are available. I got 3 pairs for £7 from Amazon. I've given them all away now to friends in a similar situation. After my final check up I got good news reading glasses.

Good, new, reading glasses!
Although good news glasses would be terrific. Rose tinted probably!
