Adjusting to "reversed or opposite" mini-monovision

[BionicEyesDS]

Hello everyone,

I am an active, sports playing 33 year old male. I recently had cataract surgery (right eye) and chose to the Alcon Toric IOLs with mini-monovision. The goal was for my right (dominant) eye to be at plano. However after my checkup 10 days later, tests showed that I am at -1.25D. To compensate, my Dr mentioned 2 options:
A) Shoot for plano in my left eye (non-dominant) and leave my right eye at intermediate vision, which I'm worried about adapting to
B) Lasik my right eye (dominant eye) to plano and shoot for intermediate in my left

My question is:
1. Which option (A or B) would be least risky and most likely result in better vision?
2. How difficult is it for most people to adapt to "reversed or opposite" mini-monovision like I described?
2. I'm currently a wearing a -4.75 contact in my left (per dr's instructions) to see if I could adjust. I am not dizzy however my distance vision with both eye isn't as clear as if it was only through just my left eye with the contact. What exactly am I looking for to see I can adapt to monovision? Dizziness, vision, something else???

Thank you in advance

Thanks for your help Dr. O. I am currently wearing a contact in my left eye to determine my adapability but I'm unsure what I'm exactly looking for. I've worn it for a 4 days and my distance vision with both eyes is somewhat blurry compared to when I see out of left (contact-wearing) eye. Does this mean I am unlikely to adapt?

Also, to clarify, the LASIK touch up procedure is complementary. Considering this, which would be the less risky procedure with higher possibility of accomplishing great distance vision?

Thank you!

There is no correct answer.  It depends on B.  The contact lens use can determine if you can adapt to the reverse monovision.

Another consideration--exchange the IOL in the right eye--this is covered by most insurances--the LASIK is not.
