Mono Blah Mono

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely satisfied with the cataract surgery I've had on the right eye. What I am not so thrilled about is the resulting mono vision I now have until the other eye is operated on, which won't be for at least another month.
 
Things like walking, driving and the like are fine and though there is a slightly noticeable difference between the vision in each eye, it isn't enough to wreak much havoc. Where the problem exists is with my near vision. Using the computer, writing by hand, reading...it all is terribly problematic. I cannot see close with my correct eye, and even with my contact lens in the other eye, my close vision is sketchy due to the cataract that remains. Being back at work today, where I had no choice but to be on the computer to perform my job, has been an adventure and quite nauseating. I've also developed a headache that feels as though it ought to have originated within a Texan.
 
For those of you who have mono vision and live with it daily...I applaud you! My brain, so far at least, will just not allow me to adjust to this difference. Here's to spilling some more beverages this evening because my perception is whacked lol.
 
Toodles for now...

I know people do get used to working with one eye, but you really don't even have that luxery with your close vision being in the bad eye. Would simple drug store reading glasses help if you covered the still cataract eye? I know your vision's still changing but in a pinch, those might help a bit. Maybe...

Readers may help, yes. How did you know I was going to start looking for a cheap-o pair to get me by for a lil bit? lol

Thanks!
