Strange, I asked my ophthalmologist pretty much the same question. He said you could pop out the lens in your eyeglasses for the eye that had the surgery, which may or may not help a lot, but you pretty much have to muddle through the period between surgeries. My pre-op surgical consultant said it would probably be better to only use the un-operated eye for reading, until both eyes were done. Driving would probably not be a problem between surgeries (I'm far-sighted).
Yeah, muddle through sounds about right.
