When the patient’s significant refractive error is corrected with an intraocular lens (IOL) in the eye with the cataract removed, these patients can no longer wear their old glasses. And if the lens for that eye is removed from their eyeglasses, they may feel woozy, have problems with depth perception or even experience double vision. But if these patients don’t wear glasses while waiting for their second cataract surgery, they basically are functioning with just one eye (the eye that underwent cataract surgery). This also disrupts depth perception and binocular vision until surgery is performed on the second eye.
