I’m going to speak with my Opthomologist tomorrow about getting a zero diopter multi-focal for my left eye.

I just had my contact consultation. She was mostly happy with my solution of putting in the old contact. She gave me a sample of zero diopter multi-focals to try. Apparently, it takes a several weeks for your eyes to settle after cataract surgery. You may be doomed to the readers lifestyle for only a few weeks.
