You had cataract surgery but an IOL was not put in your eye even though you expected one to be put in, that is correct?  The main reason for this is that complications develop at the time of surgery where it might not be able to put IOL in the eye: These are some of the possible complications: vitreous loss, capsular tear, weak zonules, high intraocular pressure, hemorrhage.      That would mean to see clearly you would have to wear extremely thick glasses or contact lens on the cornea. Usually it is possible and go back at a later date and put IOL in the eye. You might want to get a second and third opinion about what might be done in your case.
