You might be much more comfortable wearing a different brand/model of contact lens while you're waiting for your second opinion appointment. There is a huge difference in comfort level among contact lenses. I suggest that you try a 1-day contact, such as 1-day Acuvue moist or Acuvue TruEye. Both come in the power that you need. See if your eye care provider can get you some samples.
great place for another opinion. By the way BP is celebrating I think its their 40th Anniversary this year.

Thanks Dr Hagan. I made an appointment at Bascom Palmer. Again thank you so much for your help.

I suggest you get a second opinion on surgery on the right eye. Even if you had been left somewhat myopic in the left eye they would not work well together. Even if the RE only has a microscopic cataract if you are having trouble with contacts and the eyes are not working well together it IS an indication to go ahead and remove the microscopic cataract in the RE. You have too much myopia for lasik.
Get some more opinions.
