Had mine done six years ago (I’m 71 now).

I always had my contact lenses prescribed for left eye near, right eye far. Had the same done for the cataracts and have never looked back. From what I hear the near/far solution is not for everyone.

“I always had my contact lenses prescribed for left eye near, right eye far. Had the same done for the cataracts and have never looked back. From what I hear the near/far solution is not for everyone.”

Did the same, long ago - can use computer and read acceptably without glasses, can also drive acceptably without glasses. But I do have glasses which get BOTH eyes good for reading, computer, and driving - so if I’m doing something for a long time, I wear them.

Lots of prescription glasses for the above, but $7 each from Zenni from China (probably the same factory that most of the ‘discount’ retailers use, they just don’t tell you), so no big cost, and like every conservative, I have a lot of backups.

Very, very, glad I did my eyes that way.

I’ve had my eyes set up using monovision also, since LASIK in 1999. Using my phone right now I’m actually using both eyes with no glasses. When I get cataract surgery I’ll stick with the scheme.
