My Vision Two Days After Cataract Surgery

Two days ago I had cataract surgery on my good eye. 


I went for a short drive. They said I could drive as soon as I was comfortable driving. I tested my vision by trying to read a store sign. My vision is not perfect, but maybe I'm seeing 20:30 or 20:40. That's about what I'm used to.  Maybe this will get better, or maybe it won't.  Maybe glasses can improve my vision further.


Due to the antibiotics they injected, in 29 hours I went from almost blind in that eye to seeing clearly.  The first day I could barely see anything.


Now that I'm no longer as nearsighted, my up-close vision is terrible.  They are making me wait three weeks to get a prescription for reading glasses.


I am going to get some cheap store reading glasses to get by.
