Anyone with a squint which gives double vision and has had cataract surgery? I have a squint + double vision and about to have first cataract sorted (there will be a second one in the future on my better eye). I am struggling to work out how you manage after surgery and before you can get new glasses. The replacement lens will hopefully get rid of the shortsightedness but not the squint & double vision of course. I need my glasses on to walk across a room so suspect so concerned. No real solutions given apart from patching the eye that has not been operated on might help. Anyone with any other ideas?

GrandMattie, thank you, it's good to know someone else with the sight challenges has gone through this. How did you cope with the squint/double vision during the recovery period? I am trying to work out how people cope in the transitional period between surgery and the ability to get new glasses. My double vision is a bit extreme. Any ideas/info would be gratefully appreciated
