Optically, anything is possible.  The question is, what provides the
best vision "experience."

Three (of the many) options for you to consider: (All of this is
predicated on that your IOL eye has similar net acuity as the non-cat
surgery eye with best correction for both.)

1. One contact lens for RIGHT eye to bring it to -1.50 and spectacle PAL
to provide the full range of distance to near. The advantage here is
that without your glasses, you will have reasonable intermediate and
some near vision (depending upon your right eye's presbyopia.)
Disadvantage is that you need to have your glasses on for distance
vision.

2. Contact lenses for both eyes to bring them to plano and spectacle PAL
as above.  The advantages here is that is often more comfortable
physically to have contact lenses on both eyes and constant excellent
distance vision, the disadvantage is having to use glasses for
intermediate and near, but the PAL design is often more comfortable with
little power in the distance zone.

A third and most elegant option is to use a multifocal contact lens. If
you have some focusing ability, the lens goes in the right eye with full
correction for distance, the left eye leave alone. Or multifocal lenses
in both eyes. The disadvantage is that  your brain will need some time
to adjust and process the information (especially if one lens), but if
it does, you will have excellent vision across the full range of
distances, and you may not glasses at all.

I've done all of these options for patients and some of the decision is
based on when or if the other eye gets an IOL and, as stated in the
beginning, the net acuity of each eye.

Good luck in your decision(s).
