Shouldn’t be necessary, the ophthalmologist will put in a lens that should bring you close to normal vision. Of course you will lack the accomodation of the natural lens so you can only be focused for near or distance vision in each eye.
The recovery period is very short. You should be able to see pretty well right after the operation, and be back to normal within a couple days. You will have some restrictions on activities while the eye continues to heal for a few weeks.
