I have the exact same issue. I’m going to speak with my Opthomologist tomorrow about getting a zero diopter multi-focal for my left eye. I had no issue during the two week intersurgical period wearing my former prescription in my left eye and nothing in my right eye.

I’ll report back after that appointment.
