DH had cataract surgery last winter (after two Covid postponements). He'd worn glasses since age six.
He got the single focus lens for distance, and now uses reading glasses. He may need a new prescription for the computer eventually.
But this has worked extremely well for him.

Subject: [yarnmongers] opinions on cataract surgery
I am going to have cataract surgery in the near future - possibly Dec/Jan or my preference- March. Due to other eye issues, I can only get the single focal length?lens as an implant and am debating whether I should get corrected for distance as most people seem to be, or choose mid-distance or close-up instead.?
The rest would be corrected with glasses.?
Mid-distance seems to be what I look at most of the time - computer, tablet, around the house and garden, assuming that is what mid-distance is. I'm going to verify when I go to get the measurements taken this week.
I've been wearing my reading glasses around the house to see how close-up would look and that also seems to work fine. I can't see the TV but I don't watch the TV very often - I usually listen to it.?
Any thoughts and experiences?
