I unexpectedly had to have both eyes done last year. It was unexpected because I was only 44 and had never had need for corrective lenses of any type. Vision was perfect in the beginning of the year and by Labor Day, it was horrible.
I spent a lot of time researching my options and settled on the the single focal lenses for distance. I was willing to spend the extra money for the multi focal lenses but ultimately decided there was too great a chance of detriment for little possible gain. At my final check, I was 20/20 in my left eye and 20/15 in my right. A year after the first surgery, I have no regrets about my choice. I use cheaters (+1.25) for reading and anything I need to see extreme detail on at three feet and closer for work but I can see 1/8" tall print sharply at four feet. It's only the first few feet that aren't quite as clear when they say "distance" lens.
Best of luck with your surgery Buzz. Hope it goes well for you (it will). The surgery is life changing.
