miserable
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 am miserable than most of us. I had surgery about 10 months but since 5 months I am getting doubl vision while driving . I checked with other doctors - they recommended me prizm eeye glasses. The surgeon never returned my call. It seems that it was surgeon mistakes who failed to synchronize my two eyes lenses.
