Same thing happened to me, my eyes were so bad & even my thick plastic lenses in my glasses were so heavy that when I took the one lens out, my glasses were crooked, so couldn't see out of them. I covered my "good" eyes and wore my glasses for my bad eye and then when that eye got tired, I took off my glasses and covered the bad eye. A pain, but didn't have to wait long for second surgery (A week I think) and then I could see with out my glasses but couldn't read with out "cheater" glasses from dollar store. Both eyes doing great now and it has been almost 10 years, but that 1st week was misserable.
