for far vision concave or plus lens is recommended for near convex or minus lens is recommended. what you mean as iol you should go for one lens say far vision and for near you can use specs. only one operation is recommended and i can not follow how you have under gone 6operation. you should have pre operative scanning and estimate the requirement of iol, so that there is no problem post operatively.
