I want to connect the output from pin 1 of the LM358 to an NE555 timer which is in astable mode (with a potentiometer) so the LED blinks whenever any object is near the IR sensor.
#LM 358 AS TIMER FREE#
If the input voltage 1 is less than the input voltage 2, then the output of the op-amp stays at VCC, which means the output voltage is HIGH (VCC). On powering up the circuit, the LM358 IC, connected in astable multivibrator mode, generates a free running square. Delayed voltage follower using an op amp will result in the output of the same voltage as is at the non inverting (+) input for as long as the (+) input. If the input voltage 1 is greater than the input voltage 2, then the output of the op-amp will be drawn down to the ground, which means the output voltage is Low (GND). First of all, we provide input voltage 1 to the Inverting terminal (Pin2) and input voltage 2 to the Non-Inverting Terminal (Pin3).

As an example, here we used the Op-Amp1 of the LM358 IC to get output.
