No, stupid, the other eye

Rico says he has belatedly (and, yes, stupidly) and finally acted upon the awareness that his eye surgeon, Dr. Carrasco (the young-Sarah Palin-look-alike) had installed two different lenses when she fixed the cataracts in his eyes.
Here he's been struggling for a year or so to figure out what reading glasses to wear to use his computer, when all the while all he had to do was not use his left eye (with its walking-distance lens) and use his right eye, which, he's discovered, is perfectly in focus (without any other correction, so no reading glasses) at arms' length, which is where the monitor sits.
Always was slower than the other children...
