Hi and welcome to HCM,
You have not mentioned how long ago you had the surgery.
If you are reading clearly for distance, then you should be able to read for near as well, if a multi focal IOL has been put in your eye. In cases where a multi focal iol has been put in one eye only, then it may take a while for the eyes to coordinate and settle down.
All the best !!!
