Hi Dr. O,
Sorry I didn't address the previous message to you. I'll repost it below.
Thank you for your insight! I will definitely bring up this suggestion at my next appointment tomorrow! I also had another question. Would my left eye be able to wear a multifocal contact lens, or would you recommend progressive corrective lenses?
Thank you!

You will be able to wear a contact lens in the right eye. However, I would recommend less than -2.00 for your left eye--about -1.25 to -1.50. A contact lens that corrects you for distance will leave you with 2.0 diopters of anisiometropia. Some patient have difficulty with this much difference. Also you will be setting yourself up for full reading the left eye and you will have poor intermediate vision.
Dr. O.
Sorry, I forgot to add Thank you in advance for everyone's input!
Best,
