I wore glasses for 69 years before getting cataract surgery. Couldn't tell you what lenses the doc and I chose, but we went over several and I'm very happy with the results. I do use readers for small print, but that's OK with me, considering on how bad my sight had been. Went and tried on some non-rx "readers" to see what strength I needed, the ordered some glasses off of Amazon that have a clear top portion with diopter bottoms for reading. They are working very well, and I use them with clip-on sunglasses for riding in and out of shadows. Plus, after 69 years, felt odd not to have glasses on my face! Do like not having to wear them if I so choose, though!! Everyone told me the surgery was a "walk in the park". It sure was!! Listen to your doc (assuming you have a good one), they will know what type of lense is best for you.
