I have good eyesight in one eye and am legally blind in the other eye. I was terrified that something would go wrong and it would destroy my vision in my good eye. But I could see less and less every day. So I chose an experienced surgeon who used laser assisted cataract removal and prayed for the best.

My son drove me home. On the interstate I’m saying, “Look at the red car. Look at the blue car. Look at the green car. “ Finally he said, “Yes, mom. “ (Cataracts apparently destroy your color perception early.)

So far as lens choices. I think that there are new bifocal lenses which correct for both near and far distances, but their cost was not covered by my insurance. Someone here no doubt can confirm this. So my eyes were corrected for distance, but as usual I use glasses to read.

I had both eyes done. The surgeon said about the bad eye , “I can’t make it good, but I can make it better.” and he did. Best wishes as you go forward.
