Hi,
Normally the stabilization of vision after cataract surgery may take 6-8 weeks. Hence, you should wait for this period for stabilization of vision. Also, as your other eye is still having cataract, hence gross difference in the refraction of both eyes may also cause this type of symptoms.
Otherwise also, though vision including acuity of vision, usually improves dramatically after cataract surgery, still a minor refraction error may still be there and you need near glasses or minor correction of vision by corrective glasses may be required in some cases.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
