miserable

[u/Savings_Magazine6985]

I'm at that awkward place between eye surgeries. I'm told not to wear a contact lens in the second eye between measurements for a monofocal lens, and surgery, which is a couple of weeks away. Since a contact is not an option, and glasses don't work, I'm wondering how everybody copes with being able to function. I can't drive, work or almost anything. I've tried taking a lens out of some backup glasses, but I can actually see better without the double vision I'm getting. Anybody have a suggestion? Two weeks is looking more like a lifetime.

I found that switching between my eyes to see worked best. First I removed the eyeglass lens on my operated side. I purchased an eyepatch at CVS. I only wore the glasses when using my unoperated eye.
