One eye set for reading

[bunnings]

HI l am 48 having cataract surgery next month , apart from cataracts my eyes are in good condition and l currently dont need to use glasses. My surgeon says l should go with the Vivity EDOF lens, HE said l have the choice of having both eyes set totally for distance in which case l will need reading glasses or l can have the left non dominant eye set slightly for near or reading l think he said 0.5 of a diopter and the right dominant eye set totally for distance, My question is if l do that will my left eye seem slightly blurry with distance vision, or will l not notice it or adjust to it ,for example if l am watching TV or looking at something is the distance would there be a slight blur

IF you are able to get 0.0 in your dominent eye  and your dominant eye -0.5 you will in all likelyhood need glasses for reading.   At distance or near the brain mainly pays attention to the clearer eye.  See if anyone in your community does the light adjusted lens (LAL) it is the most advanced IOL on the market now.

That second part should be NON-DOMINANT EYE-0.5
