2nd cataract surgery after 6 months
My father (60) recently had a cataract surgery on his right eye with an Eyhance IOL. His left eye is good enough for him to be able to read fine print. Will it be okay if he gets his 2nd cataract surgery after 6-7 months? As he doesn't want to lose his near vision which is pretty good on his left eye.

Sure if there is no predisposing factor for cataract other than his age, he can delay the cataract surgery.
