I had cataract surgery on my right, non-dominate eye two weeks ago. I wanted mono-vision, but my surgeon and I didn t exactly communicate. I didn t know the right questions to ask and he was in a hurry, with a waiting room crammed with patients. He did not check to see which eye was dominate. I need to have a cataract removed from my left, dominate eye in a couple of weeks. But I am scared to lose my near vision. I am experiencing headaches and eye strain at the present time, but I can still see my watch and cellphone. I had lasik surgery nearly 20 years ago and I was reading without readers until I had the first surgery. (I am 63). Can my near vision be saved at this point. or am I going to have a disconnect , as my doctor called it, in my brain and be unable to adjust because the wrong eye was set for distance? I am not totally opposed to wearing glasses, but since I haven t for 20 years after a life-time of being near-sighted, I would prefer not to. Should I proceed...is the doctor at fault for not checking for eye dominance? Very apprehensive at this point.
