Visited my ophthalmologist on Thursday to discuss getting cataract surgery. I intend to get the single vision type where he corrects for distant vision but I still will need glasses for reading. I have worn glasses since I was a teenager so using them for reading will not be a big deal. The main reason for having the surgery is because my optometrist no longer can correct my vision to 20/20 because of the cataracts. Renewing my drivers license in 2023 without better vision might be difficult. Distant vision will work better for driving and bike riding. I know there is the special inserts similar to multi-focal glasses but my insurances have a pretty hefty co-pay for the special lenses.
