How much magnification?
One can have special glasses made to put the best-focus distance (from
your nose tip) pretty well anywhere. I have working glasses set to
14", for computer use, and far shorter for very close work.
When getting the prescription, especially for close work, make sure
that the ophthalmologist does the final adjustment with both of your
eyes open, or the eyes are likely to fight, which will soon tire the
eyes.

Right now about 1X seems good for computer reading, but 2X seems right
for reading. Tomorrow will be the last day of drops, have an
appointment with the optometrist the fifth of June. Last appointment
with to opthamologist on the first, the surgery center does not do
glasses.
Probably will end up with glasses, but colors are brighter and night
vision has returned and won't be going blind all good things.

Have you considered getting a set of safety Glasses that are ground so
the both the near, the intermediate and the far can be seen.
My glasses have multiple grindings in the glass that lets me read work
on the computer, and see things at a distance. They are continuously
ground (no line)

I cant offer any suggestions because I chose to eliminate the need
for glasses when I had cataract surgery about 6 months ago. It wasnt
cheap, but I had Panoptix Trifocal lenses put in and havent worn glasses, >other than basic safety glasses, since.
The lenses are pretty cool. They use a set of concentric circles which
are each set, based on my prescription, for various distances. It took a
few months for my brain to sort out all the incoming data, sort of like >progressive lenses - which I hated and could never get used to. The
main difference is that it all comes in at once, i.e. no head or eye
movement like progressives or bifocals, the brain just figures it out.
Its called neuroadaptation.
Anyway, like I said, it wasnt cheap ($6K-ish) but well worth the
money. 20-20 vision, no more blinding headlight glare, no more
fog. I joked with SWMBO that I could get some of that money
back by selling some of the extra lights Ive installed in the shop,
basement and garage over the past few years. ;-)

Considering a lot of things, with choices comes not real sure as to
what will work have tried some bifocal readers but they are my wifes
and she likes small lenses, so not a real good test for me.
