Everyone heals differently so it can't be generalized your post op healing. I would rethink the whole plan on your post op refractive error. -6.00 is more than twice the desirable amount of myopia.
Generally I've found it works well to reduce the myopia to about -2.50 to -3.00 and on the other eye have LASIK or refractive procedure and reduce to -1.75 (mini-monovision near bias).
Of course if the other eye has a cataract a cataract removal can be done with IOL put in to shoot for -1.75
Your solution is not a good choice for most people.
Few people want to be left with a -6.00 refractive error when it could be 0.00 to -3.00

Thanks for your comments on the proposed correction to my right eye. I've been -6 / -10 or thereabouts for many years and so don't see much of an issue with being -6 / -6 and this has the advantage of only one eye being treated. I'll ask the surgeon about this when I see him 7 days pre-op.
But that will be a bit late to get specs made in advance. I understand your comment that everyone heals differently but you need to understand the depths of my ignorance! I have no idea if I will be able to see at all with my right eye in the days post-op! Or if the target -6 is just a rough guide to what the outcome will be. Or if my refractive error will be immediately stable, stabilize in days - or weeks - or months.
Any comments on these points would be helpful, and will be read in the context that everyone is different.
Thank you. I did that and found it helpful. Both JodieJ's comments and your own, in the same 5 or 6 question=reply streams.
Today my surgeon recommended waiting until post-op before bothering about new specs.
I suggest you use the search feature and archives and read about ERM stripping, macular puckers and vitrectomies. The posts of JodieJ are especially helpful as she has had the surgery and eloquently and informatively shares her experience over many posts.
Best of luck
