Had cataract surgery a year or so ago. Right before my vision was not terrible (20/50'ish), but slowly deteriorating over the years. However, my corrected vision with glasses through most of my life was in the 20/12-15 range (everything is relative). I opted for both lenses to service object far away, as I wore reading glasses before. I figured I could just continue to use them. In addition I didn't want to lose the distance estimation faculty.
All in all it all worked out well. Though my vision with installed lenses is good (20/20+), it clearly is not where it was when younger (what is?). Having to use glasses to read as well as anything close up required getting used to; a good solution was keeping a pair of reading glasses all around the house, and easy to pick up when needed.
I find picture taking different from what it was; it is way easier to look through the view finder without glasses, but in order to see the LCD I need my reading glasses. The solution that seems to work for me is a pair of half lens readers, where the bottom half holds the lens, while there is nothing above. Best of both worlds? Maybe, maybe not....YMMV.
