My experience transitioning from myopia with -11diopter glasses pre cataract and good vision from 1" to ~6" from
the eye surface was a bad week between one surgery and the next as one eye was now 20/20 from ~3'and the other blurred
from 6" out. After the 2d eye was done both were corrected to 20/20 from 3' out and only 2.75 diopter reading glasses
needed. Over the next 2 yrs the vision drifted to 20/20 at 6' then ~10' out with adequate vision closer in but reading
glasses at 2.75 diopters and computer use 1.75 diopters. I can read my bike computer with uncorrected vision but
generally I wear a set of Rx progressives nominally 0 at top 1.75 in mid and 2.75 at bottom about 90% of the time now.
When looking at TV/movies/concerts/driving/conversation with small group I really don't need glasses and frequently
take them off. I have reading glasses all over the house. Rx glasses pre-cataract were ~$400-600, now they are ~$100.
