Ross:
I suggest that you speak with your Dr.
There are tests you can do to learn of this would be successful (doing the next eye for reading).
I had both lenses replaced over a two year span. I had the first one done for reading as my job depended upon that...this required me to use glasses for the far distance correction in the unoperated eye.
At the time of my second cataract removal and lens replacement, my Dr. had me look through a variety of devices...and recommended that I could have the second eye lens done for far vision (my dominant and shooting eye)and effectively my brain sorts out the visual fields (this is called monovision...similar to how a rabbit sees)
Tha outcome was great...I have eagle vision for shooting and no problem with reading...no side effects...headaches, etc.
Best,
-Brian
