>>Next month I’m having cataract surgery on both eyes.<<
My optometrist said to skip the multifocals (at extra cost). I found there are no corrections achievable for those lenses.
Be sure you need them. My reasons for the surgery weren’t remedied, and I miss the sharpness that glasses could achieve.
My problem is that I have a few small cataracts in both eyes, but I have one specific cataract in my left eye that is sitting smack-dab in the middle of my lens. It affects the vision in that eye, despite up-to-date corrective lenses. Because of the sizable difference of strength in my lenses, I may still end up having to wear glasses after the surgery. I don't really care about wearing glasses. I've worn them since I was 12. I just want to be able to see normally again without blurry vision, halos and feeling like my eyes are fighting each other to focus.
