I have implants, and they give great distance vision. Those plastic lenses do not change focus, so closeup work requires a pair of glasses for each working distance. Assume you put on glasses in order to see a lathe's cutter on the work. Now you can't see the feed dials. Put on glasses for the feed dials, now you can't see the cutter.

This is very frustrating. I used to have a great retirement pass-time.

I know several people who have gotten implants. They could see 20/20 but couldn't read anything. Especially frustrating if you were always near-sighted.
A friend recently got the bifocal implants. One eye healed very quickly but 2 months later he still has one that isn't doing well.
I can't afford it. Only have Medicare A & B which pays for nothing.
