Talk to your surgeon, but if you are going to have more surgery, it would
make more sense to have a clear lens extraction on the unoperated eye to
make the prescriptions match.

I don't have any experience and not much advice.  Putting in and taking
out contacts is a hassle.  It's a lot easier when you do both together.
Doing one and then the other wouldn't be my preference.  And don't you
wear a contact in both eyes now?

I had -10 in one eye and plano in the other (with 1.75 astigmatism) for
five years after the first cataract surgery and before the second.  I was
able to tolerate contacts very well, and wore them about 14 hours a day, 7
days a week.  I did get some glasses shortly after the surgery, and as
promised, I saw double.  However, after a couple of years of wearing the
glasses for a few minutes each night, my brain was able to block the image
in one eye and the glasses were somewhat usable.  I then went to
monovision in glasses.   !!!  It didn't work very well, as promised, but
it did work.  The blurriness in the one eye helped my brain to block that
image.

Another option, which I considered but never tried, was to get glasses
with a lens in one eye, and opaque in the other eye.
