Back in the mid-90s, my boss had cataract surgery on one eye, which gave him 20/20 vision in that eye. After that his glasses had one Rx lens (for the non-corrected eye) and one plain lens (for the post-cataract eye).
I imagine the doctor will have a solution like that for your friend, since I'm sure they deal with it all the time.
I have a friend who is having cataract surgery soon. She had lasik some years ago, but still wears glasses for reading. I will have to ask her if she will be able to lose the reading glasses after the surgery.

My friend did try contacts about 40 years ago but she stopped wearing them and went back to glasses. Think she had some discomfort, or fell asleep wearing them? Then said never again. I used to work with a woman who had one contact - so one eye was for distance, the other for near vision. I guess the brain adapts but it sounds weird to me.
I'll very curious to see how this plays out.
