Answer:
To clarify some of these terms for our readers, it sounds as though you had cataract surgery with implantation of monofocal lenses in each eye. These monofocal lenses were used to achieve monovision, where one eye was set for distance and the other set for near.
To answer your question, unless you have another ailment, you can almost certainly wear contact lenses after having cataract surgery, and there are a variety of choices are available to you. You can wear a contact that improves the distance vision in the near eye, you can wear a contact that improves the near vision in the distance eye, or you could even wear a contact to enhance the near vision in the near eye.
