My second surgeon made a decision for me

I created the above post one month ago and mentioned that I would be seeing SURGEON B on September 2.
Today is September 2, this afternoon I met with my second surgeon (ophthalmologist), which I called SURGEON B.
I presented the following list of options to him:
He chose Option 5 and he said that PureSee is better than Clareon monofocal for the far vision. He made this choice maybe because he knew from the medical record that I told them I am a photographer.
And SURGEON B said, my left eye can aim -1.00 to reduce the dependency on eyeglasses. But I have to get my right eye done first. After doing the right eye, I still have plenty of time to consider how to set the power for the IOL in my left eye.
drjim77: How do you think of the decision made by my second surgeon? Do you think PureSee is better than Clareon monofocal for the far vision?
I welcome anybody to write your comments and suggestions.
Thank you!
