I had worn bifocals before the surgery so this worked for me. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEW as soon as you get that contact. The new ones take no getting used to. Bless you, I wish you the best.
BTW, the reason your glasses probably don't work is because the implant is single vision.
Will they do a contact for the eye that hasn't had surgery if it also has a cataract? Trying an eye patch over bad eye but it isn't working for me - seems to be too much strain on "new" eye which really isn't up to par yet visually.
