Thoughts??
That's more or less what I did. However, I have a retirement job as a credit union teller, and I ended up getting no-line bifocals for work because the cheaters are good for up-close, but you need to take them off when looking further away. When waiting on members, I am constantly switching between reading distance on the computer screen and too-far when looking at the member. So basically a clear long-distance top part and a prescription reading part allow me to interact at both distances naturally.
BTW, the most interesting part of the surgery to me was when I had one eye done. When I closed the "done" eye, it looked like I was viewing the world through brown sludge. When I switched eyes, colors were vibrant and I was able to easily tell the difference between my blue and my green shirts. Good luck!
