Too early to judge.: We typically don't prescribe new glasses until one month after surgery. In some cases people get along just fine with temporary readers. However, if you have significant astigmatism, no temporary glasses will be sufficient. You need to give this more time.

Patience: If your surgeon says there were no complications and your retina is healthy you should be able to read as soon as you get the proper reading prescription( which may not be +4). There is also an issue of what kind of vision is in your other eye which possibly could be affecting your reading.

Cataract surgery: Vision after cataract surgery can take a number of weeks to stabilize. If you have significant astigmatism, you may need to get this corrected before reading glasses or bifocals will help you read.
