Mex, I just got both eyes done for cataracts with " Intraocular Lens" made in Irvine CA. Anyway, yes you might still need glasses after that or maybe not depending on astigmatism or whatever, or maybe just reading glasses. Bright light is harsh with the new eyes for some months. In my case, I already had a cheap polarize sun shade thingy that when driving in daytime, I hang on the inside of my regular glasses, which are not tinted.
After six weeks or so from getting your second eye done, you can go for a new prescription and get new glasses. Once you get those, you can use the cheapo drop in polarize shades with them, same as with your old glasses. Until then, you could need actual sunglasses you can put on and drive without any glasses except your new eyes, which will probably be good enough so you don't run into trees or miss any red lights. :)
Years ago I had a set of prescription tinted glasses with a variable tint that was supposed to be dark in daytime and light at night. Nope, it stayed too dark in the dark. Hated those things. So I got the drop in shades that hang inside your glasses. Sort of bent at the sides like blinkers too--neat feature. Works great for driving.
